4th draft of magazine advert

This is my fourth draft of my music magazine advert. I showed my previous draft to my teacher who suggested that I take away the box around Maia and make her image bigger to establish her as an artist more which I agreed with , as before, it was quite small and it didn't draw enough attention to her. I also think that the fact that her face blends into the marina shows links to the actual video keeping the theme going throughout. 

Feedback of music video

Here is some feedback that I got off my dad. I agree with his comments therefore will make some changes to my video.

Research

http://www.urban75.com/Drugs/yaba.html

I found this website which tells you the effects of different types of drugs and alcohol which I thought would be useful since I have included alcoholism and drug abuse in my video. I wanted to gain a better understanding of these themes that I am displaying so that I could portray a realistic representation.

Fonts

I used a website called 'Dafont' to get a creative font for my music magazine advert. I wanted the font to be quite digital since the album is called 'Digital Kids' therefore it would be representative of the album name. I chose the font by David Chung because it was different to the usual typewriter style and I thought it would look good on my magazine because the writing is quite distorted which resembles how the music video is disjointed.

Third draft of music magazine advert

This is the third draft of my music magazine advert. I have added a faded background to add some colour to my advert because I feel like it was too plain and a bit boring. I think this draft links in with my digipak a lot more because I have used a similar image therefore the album cover will be a lot easier to recognise. I have added some icons such as the pre order on iTunes icon because the album is not out yet therefore people would know where to go to pre order the album. This is also conventional to see on a music magazine because it encourages people to buy the album therefore increasing sales. I also added the sony music icon to establish the record label in which my artist would be under. I added the website for my artist because some people like to visit the website to find out information for things such as tour dates, links to videos, upcoming events or information about the artist/album. Overall I am quite happy with this draft however I will get some feedback before I make it my final draft.

First draft of Digipak

This is the first draft of my digipak. I am quite happy with it however I think I am going to change some of the inside images as they are quite repetetive. I have chosen to keep my digipak simple because I don't think it needs a huge amount of writing otherwise it will take the focus off the artist. I also think the simple look is quite conventional of an Indie genre since their budgets are lower than major labels therefore it wouldn't be produced in the same way and will use a lot more resources.
