As shown above is the first draft of my magazine poster, produced using the Apple software; Adobe Photoshop. For the background image, I decided to use the same photo used for my digipak cover. This was decided because I felt the viewers needed to become familiar with the album cover, however I did not want the image to be exactly the same, so a number of the editing techniques used in the digipak cover were not used for this image. In terms of the text, the different text fonts and styles differ from each other however making sure the the colours used work well with each other. For example; pink and purple, red and white...etc. These colours portray a strong contrast against the background colours, making the text ideal for the viewers to observe. For the text "Jake Bugg", I have used a larger and grasping font; used to catch the viewers attention and to also establish the purpose of the advert. Just above this is the record company logo "Mercury Records" that signed Jake Bugg - more visual information on the background of Jake Bugg's sudden appearance to the music industry. I have placed a small image of the album cover beneath the text "debue album....released 3rd december". This is used to provide the observer of the magazine advert with more information of the albums release in terms of its appearance and date of release.
Class Comments;
After showing the finished draft to my class colleagues, they identified the fact that I had not used any constructive editing techniques on the background image, making the poster very plain from a viewers perspective. Also, we agreed upon changing the positioning of the album cover at the bottom; placing it more towards the right or left with the writing at the very bottom. This is due to the fact that the album at this point is blocking Fernando's feet, creating the illusion of him having thin feet.
