Ancillary Task - Magazine Advert

This is my magazine advert for my digipak. As you can see from the image I have chosen to have rather dark  house colours, this is because I really like the idea of using silhouettes and creating them myself as I have demonstrated in previous posts. 
Also the genre of my Music Video is a sub-genre of Indie music and from research I noted that indie music is all about personality and individuality, which is what I wanted my advert to have. While also having its own sense of character 

The Main Cover Image is a tiled college of the musical artists face. I wanted to use this because I thought it was a quite unique idea and would draw in an audiences attention. I have then placed three silhouettes on to of the main image, the first being the large tree. Second the three birds and thirdly the couple who're holding hands.

I chose to place the silhouettes on top of the background image because I believe it gives my advert a sense of character and moves away from the main conventions of other magazine advertisements.

The text on my advert is minimal and this is because I wanted the audience to focus mainly on the images. The main head of the advert is the artists name in a bold font with a white outline to make it stand out that much more. The other text is a basic 'OUT NOW' announcement and the name of the album/digipak. There is also a small three word review type quote at the foot of the page and an RSS scan which allowed me to incorporate social media without it being all over the page.

My Production company name is also in the left corner of the header of the page, its of a low opacity as I didn't want it to stand out to much and take attention away from the actual advertisement.
