Magazine Advert

To create this I used an image of trees and overplayed the image of the protagonist jumping. I then made the opacity 50% enabling the double layer. 
 Then I used an image of Garbage'e logo, removed the background to make it transparent and played on the top of the magazine advert. I then placed the vector under the layer of the protagonist jumping to create a slightly transparent effect instead of being a strong black colour, I tried the strong black however, the faded black fit better with the continuity of the magazine and the digipak. 

Initially I mirrored the protagonist jumping in the air and mirrored the trees. However, this faded the whole magazine and the magazine didn't stand out as much. Also a main theme in my A2 media is the colour blue and the colour was faded in the mirrored version therefore i felt like with the one protagonist jumping the colour was more vibrant and i was able to use the colour swatch tool to use the blue for the writing at the bottom. 
 I also feel that the text on a poster needs to be legible and for people to easily read. I made the writing clearer and the darker black will be more eye-catching than in the mirrored version. 

I have added the social media above the release date, (Facebook and Twitter). I added the social media to allow people to access the band's information and their past albums and future concerts. this also follows the general conventions of a magazine advertisement. 

This is the final edit of my magazine avert, i have removed the Garbage logo in the bottom left corner, due audience feedback questioning why the word Garbage and Night Drive Loneliness being repeated twice. Therefore i created my QR code, which links to my blog post and i also added the 'iTunes' logo and the 'google play' logos. This adds to the general conventions of a magazine cover, allowing people to access the songs in all formats and provide them with the information they need to be aware of where they can find the song and the album.
