Below is my Magazine Advert:

After creating two different Magazine adverts on canva we showed a number of people and received some audience feedback. We were told that they didn't like the font of the title as it didn't really fit with the genre or aesthetics of our music video, however we also learnt from our audience feedback that the writing in the first option covered to much our the image and in particular the artists face. Subsequently, we used the good aspects of both and combined them creating a magazine advert out target audience liked.
Lauren and I created 2 different magazine adverts as part of our preliminary task. We used the online website 'canva'. This website was really useful as it allowed us to choose from a range of different templates, which we could then edit and adapt to create something in keeping with out music video. We created two to give us options and a larger range of choice. However after receiving audience feed back we were told one was too plain and simple and the other ones writing almost ruined the image. Therefore we will try and create another with similar ideas however also take on board our audience feedback.
Having read the profile of 'Mojo' magazine profile i was able to see what type of audience they attract. As previously stated they attract an audience 'truly obsessed with music', whether it be 'rock, folk, soul' or 'reggae', but most significantly it 'celebrates quality over popularity'. It can perhaps therefore be assumed that Mojo attracts a more 'indie' or alternative audience rather than a typical mainstream audience. Looking at the different types of bands and individual musicians, it is clear the magazine attracts an older audience who are more familiar with the type of music, rather than a young teenager interested in mainstream pop. Investigating into the 'Mojo' magazine gave me a better insight into the type of audience I wish to attract when creating my own magazine advert. Due to the song 'what now' being in the pop genre, in turn I would expect to see a mainstream audience- perhaps a teenagers and young ...
The Killers- Wonderful, Wonderful Although 'The Killers' music comes under the 'rock' genre, many of their songs also fall under the pop genre, which my music video 'What Now' does. When analysing their album cover I firstly looked at the colours, which had a simple yet aesthetically pleasing colour scheme of light pink, blue and white. Although these colours are not typically associated with rock music they amplify the album name 'Wonderful, wonderful'. Furthermore when considering the album is rock I was also surprised by image on the album- a hand holding a shell with the blurred unfocused background appearing to be a beach. When reading the magazines target profile it stated that it 'delivers a monthly dose of iconic photography to an audience of extremely passionate music consumers'. The photography in this particular album directs the audiences attention to the focus point of the image- the light pink shell which seems to cont...
Before creating my own magazine advert for my music video I decided to carry out some research and investigate what I need to think about when creating my own. In particular I looked at the font of the title, the colours, the picture and most importantly the type of audience the magazine was intending to attract. When looking in detail to the magazines I was surprised by images and picture used for the 'rock' genre. Although the rock genre contrasts to the mainstream pop genre, I found it extremely useful to get a better insight into the type of factors I need to think about.
Typically, music artists like to use magazine adverts to promote their new music album or their tour. As well as creating a website, Lauren and I would like to create a magazine advert for our performers album and decided to do some research to help us. Beyonces magazine advert is of course, visually attractive and appealing however as a result of the dull colours., the advert fails to grab the audiences attention. Although this is not a magazine advert but for a tour, Rita Ora's advert is definitely one of our favourites. This is due to the bold, bright colours and sizing of the font which immediately grabbed our attention. Rita Ora is the focal point, placed in the middle of the advert which makes sure that it is known it is her tour. The MTV logo is placed at the top of the screen so that the target audience knows who her record label and can easily identify her genre of music. Taylor Swifts album advert was not particularly eye-catching. Although it uses t...
