Magazine Advert Survey

Now that we have done a magazine advert we will now get any feedback that we need on it to then help make it better.

1. Is the text clear on the advert so that you can read it ?
2. Do you like the colour scheme of the advert ?
3. Do you like the graphic of the band ?
4. Do you feel we have missed anything on the advert ?
5. Would you change anything about the advert ?

Once we have receive feedback we will then collate this and write up our findings

Magazine Advert Draft

This is our final advert that we have created for our magazine advert.

The advert can be seen fully by clicking on it this will open into a new window with the full advert. The advert was created for A4 magazine size the default that most magazines print at. Overall we are very happy with the advert, we feel that the fits fit the band very well as well as being very easy and clear to read. The main bits that stand out are the date as well as the bands name and single we feel this works well ad this draws in peoples attention.

The background is just a plain black background with a photoshop brush applied this has then had a gradient put on to make it fade out. We will now gain feedback on our design so that we can then round the magazine advert off and create our final advert.

Photoshop Update on the Magazine Ad

After dans Video Blog a few days ago, I have done a new video update to show you how the progress has developed. We have made a few versions and experimented with different Photoshop techniques as seen in the video below.

Below are the experimental Photoshop effects as seen in the video.

Weather Problems

Due to the problems we have been having with weather mainly because of snow the video is going to be delayed as we currently cant film. This is due to being very slippy and risky but also if the snow all goes and we haven't filmed all of our video this will look funny. Because of this we will be working to finish the magazine advert, this may take time though due to exams in other subjects. This is going very well however and as you can see we update our progress onto the blog.

The new date for filming is February the 12th, this maybe a whole month on but the bad weather is set to continue and as i said earlier alot of us have exams to work on as well.

Making Of the Advert

This is just a small video of us making the magazine advert as well as the graphic that will be used on both the magazine advert as well as the digipack. This is a screen grab from photoshop with audio commentary of what we are doing.

Magazine Advert Progress

Today we have been working on our magazine advert, we decided to use a studio shot of our actor to make our digipack and also our magazine advert. For the magazine advert we have got this imaged and cut around it in photoshop totally. The original image is below.

This image has now been reworked by us in photoshop, to do this we first cut around the image, after doing this we then went and changed our image via the photoshop effects into a stroke effect. With this done we then added a white outline around will and this is how it looks when all cut out onto a black background.

This image as you can see is exactly the same image but with alot of work in photoshop has been totally transformed into something else. This will be the main part of our magazine advert and will be based around this image mainly. A video is below showing how we cut out this in photoshop and what we did. Below is also a idea of something we could have on the magazine advert.

This is just a idea we had for the digipack or the magazine advert and is easily done using photoshop brushes, because of this we have decided we will look more into these for our final draft.
