The Creation of my magazine ad.
The first stage for me was to create a basis. I wanted to go for a more subtle chilled out magazine advert as this is more representative of the style of music the artist i have chosen produces. I went fora typical surf scene; a surfer ont he beach looking at the waves. This is very representative of Jack Johnson and his music as he creates songs which are often referred to summer days at the beach. As well as this Jack Johnson is a recognized surfer nad so upon seeing this type of image in a magazine most surfers will stop to read more into the advert.
The next stage was to insert the text. I liked the way the photo was set out as from the horizon line up there was a nice clear sky to create the text. I thought the most important thing to be read was the Artists name as he is a world renowned musical artist and the intertextuality with the surfer would imidiately bring back summer memories of going to the beach. So i placed 'Jack Johnson' in big neat writing in the center of the sky. This keeps a neat porfessional look to the image. From here i needed to insert other text which is roughly the basis of what the advert is about. I in smaller writing put 'The Much Anticipated New Album', and then again Below the main title i placed the albums name within apostraphes. I like the cetralised look of the text and the way the sky borders the text as it sets a neat looking top third of the page.
Finishing Touches.
The final step was to finish it off. So i thought it was important to insert a small image of what the new album looks like in the bottom left hand corner as well as applying the text of the record label 'Bushfire Records' and above that, 'Out Now on DVD & Vinyl'. This follows the codes and conventions of most CD adverts.
And finaly i added some effects on the text. An outer glow on the smaller text in the bottom left hand corner as well as a drop shadow on the 'Jack Johnson' this makes his name stand out of the page a bit more and finishes the page off nicely.

The first step was to crop out the picture to a suitable magazine page size. From here I used the brightness and contrast tools to enhance the image. Unfortunately it went ovr cast for the photoshoot however i was able to increase the brightness to make the iage look more powerful on the page.
The first stage was to alter the page. Due to the fact that the album is called 'superhuman' i wanted to insert an effect onto the person involved. So from here i magnetic lassoo'd the edge of the eprson and used an outer glow. This enhanced the look of the surfer involved and gave the picture that little something else neccesary to make it stand out.
