Magazine Ad First Drafts

Following my magazine ad research i began to start designing a rough draft for what our magazine advert would look like. following the main conventions i came up with some rough magazine ad ideas. I will then gain feedback and go ahead with the best design.

Above are my first initial ideas for our  magazine ad and i have began to design the ones i think would fit best with our audience.

I began with the font which i downloaded from a website called TenbyTwenty this offers users the choice to download a number of different fonts. I thought the font Nevis fitted in similarly to the one are artist uses on their website. 

As you can see there is as a similarity between the two which is why i wanted to use this one.

Another font i particularly liked was this dymo font which is similar to the one paramount use for their ident.

This is a rough draft of one of my designs.

Obviously this needs some more exposition on the ad but this is my first rough idea.

For the second draft i decided to try out a different font from the website Dafont.

For the second draft we wanted to include tour dates for our act as this is a main convention for magazine ads. I found a number of past tour dates on their website.

One thing i recognised was that our artist does a number of shows rather close together then has a few weeks before his next gigs eg. 6th, 8th, 9th of march then the next gig would be 30th and the 31st. So this is something we are going to include.

As our artist is recognised internationally his gigs are all over the world. However, we want to narrow ours down to Uk tour dates rather than international. As well as playing gigs and concerts our artist plays at festivals also so this may be something we include.

On our sixth shoot we took the pictures we needed for our magazine ad, this meant that we would be able to create a teaser ad as well, the pictures are below.

This is a first draft of a teaser ad.

I do not like this one at all here is another example of a teaser with a new downloaded font.

This is one of our draft teaser ads with different font colours as the white one didn't link in with the back ground image.

With the black font it stands out a lot more in comparison to the white one.
