Magazine Advert Drafting

This Is The drafting for an advert for my digipak and new album release. The crow is usually a symbol of death and the dark and desaturated colours fit the metal genre and give the whold album a dark feel that reflects the heavy music.

Magazine Advert Research

For a part of my unit 3 media A Level I have decided to create a magazine advert that will be advertising the digipak and new album release of my chosen band and song.  I thought it was appropriate that I do some research into magazine ads announcing new releases of digipaks first, as this will allow me to get an understanding of what I will need to include into my own work.

Below are some photos of example adverts that I have found in music magazines.

By looking at other magazine adverts and getting an understanding of their layout and conventions, I have found some inspiration for my own work that will help when it comes to me producing my own piece.

Digipak Drafting

As drafting for my digipak, I printed out a template from the internet to help me create a design.

I wanted to base the digipak design  around a dark theme as this links in with the genre of the album, so I drew a crow with bat wings. The drawing of the crow is meant to symbolize this dark theme of genre and also give the viewer a sense of the unknown and the odd. This design is still only a draft and is still being worked upon in order to make it better, so some changes may be made when it comes to producing my final digipak design.
