Magazine Advert

I have now completed my magazine advert. I feel this accompanies the music video and digipak extremely well. It is promoting the album not giving too much detail so the audience can identify the main information for when the album is released. The main image is used in both the music video and features on the album so interlinks each feature. Here it is:

Here is the magazine article I created using pic monkey (an editing software). The biggest writing is of the band name so people can identify what the poster is about. I then included the album name directly under this so they are aware it is an album that is being promoted an the name of it so the audience and fans are able to look for 'Reckless' the latest album from the band genetics. Then I included the release date in a lower shade to defer from the album name and band name - I also outline it is available online and in stores as many people don't like hard copies of CD;s anymore as they can use newer technology like downloading from iTunes onto their iPod.Moreover at the bottom of the poster stating the bands website and the production company so if the audience or fans wanted they could look for further information on the band. The last detail I added was the rating of the album from both music magazines 'Q' and 'NME' giving high ratings as a promotional tool too boost sales as people could be convinced to buy the music. It follows quite a dull theme as it is mysterious with the tree as the predominant picture as it is reoccurring throughout the band like the album cover and music video. I do feel it is quite an effective poster as it is bold and states the relevant information moreover looks quite aesthetically pleasing.
