This is my final magazine advertisement, it fits into the typical genre of 'punk'. It looks fun and cartoon like. I chose red because it's bold, it's a typical punk colour, and it's a typical clown colour. The font that the bands name is written in 'The Richard Heads' looks like it's been ripped out of a newspaper, which links in with the album name Stalker, because that's how they stereotypically write their ransoms. There was two different ways in which I could of gone when creating my magazine advert, I could of promoted a tour but I decided to promote their single instead. Previously I have practised creating posters in the 'typical' style of the punk genre and eventually came to my final idea, which is the poster above. I believe this advertisement stands out because of the image, it's an image that sticks in your head because of its creepiness. This advert would appear in alternative magazines such as Kerrang, or Mojo as it fits the genre, and suits the genre of other bands that are already being promoted. I have kept the advert quite simple, getting straight to the point, mentioning only what needs to be said as I didn't want to over crowd the poster. I didn't want to ruin the image as I believe it leaves some sort of curiosity that makes you want to find out what the songs about, even though it is quite self explanatory. I think that you can tell by the poster that this band is a British one, as the punk genre resembles British history, and it also looks like a band which like to have fun with their music and not take themselves to seriously, whereas the stereotypical view on American music is that they take themselves a lot more seriously. I think that this poster portrays the message that the band I'm promoting is a punk band successfully through the image.

Final Magazine Advertisment

We like how you have featured the bands name clearly on the advertisement and even though you have used a basic colour scheme, the effcts used makes me theme stand out and follows the colour scheme you have previously used. The font is also continued throughout the CD cover and magazine advertisment.
ReplyDeleteThis poster is unique as i havent seen anything like it. I like the layout you have used and the effects you have done on the image, as it is eye-catching. Also the use of lettering which is creative. By sticking with the colour scheme all of your work is noticably linked which im sure you wanted to achieve!. This is very good, and fufils its purpose of clearly advertising the CD.
