Prototype Magazine Ad

Prototype 1

The black square in the middle of the magazine ad will be an image of the artists. We have an idea of including a dark photo,maybe a silhouette or dim lighting. 

We asked for feedback and improvements from our teacher and the feedback was positive overall. However we stumbled across the fact that I had included reviews from magazines that do not give star ratings and the magazines were too mainstream for our niche, independent record artists. So we changed this. 

Prototype 2

I have changed the reviews from magazine ads to a more niche targeted magazine that specialises in the soul/rnb genre that we have with our song choice. I have chosen, Blurt Magazine, Clash Magazine and Blues and Soul magazine and they all do star ratings so we researched these magazines in depth.

Prototype 3

This our third our third prototype. As you can see we have made many alterations to the original design. Some aspects that we have changed include, dulling down the orange, fiery colors in the album title and curly lines. We have added a photo of both artists in a rundown, leafy yet urban looking location being connoted through the hairs, metal fence and Dominic's costume.

Prototype 4

This is the fourth prototype of our magazine ad. We have changed the photo to a more gritty one which has synergy with the brand and colours that we have displayed in our video. We brought in a tad bit more colour with the photo because it looked a bit dull. I also changed the typography of the text.
