Music Magazine Advertisement
In this post I shall analyze some Music Magazine Advertisements like front pages and middle posters. To get idea's of how to make our own advertisement page for our band.
First up: Paramore Front Cover
The first thing you can notice is that the picture of Haley Williams is in front of the title of the music magazine. This gives the affect that Haley Williams really stands out and catches the eye. Everything else on the page is on top of Haley Williams. Also the use of black on white and the white on black. Even though the colours are a bit boring it really stands out to make it bold. However it has stuck to a colour theme as the dress she is wearing is also black and white and it gives the magazine cover a aesthetically pleasing look and it does represent the PopPunk genre.

Discountenance
My theory
Discountenance:
The akward situation that can often be experienced in comedy sketches.

Album Cover Design 2
The second design I created in Photoshop.
I tried to keep a similar design style as the first CD cover as the beand liked a few of our ideas in the previous design. But this time I tried to add a little more colour but still keeping the cold, mysterious look. This was done by using a image in the background of a scratch metal which I then set all layers after the background to overlay. This creates the effect that the image is actually inscribed on the metal rather than placed on top. Also shows a sign of aging and more realastic. I used a very bright green to catch the eyes of our audience as they walk pass the album in the shop. Planning as if it would actually happen in real life. The purple flowery effect gives a nice appeal to a more 'scenic' group whom I think this song would appeal to.

Album Cover Designs
Design One:
The first Cover Design I produced. This idea was based on the feedback given from the band. The effects they talked about linked to the editing were shots with low saturation, darkness and mystery which I hope I managed to put across in this design.
I emailed the band the jpeg and they came back with this response - "Hey man! Thanks a ton for this! It's actually really cool! My feedback would be: Not exactly sure about the yellow (in general, so not just here)And I wonder if a version exactly the same but with the slightly more legible type might not better? I could totally be wrong? Maybe it needs to be even MORE stylised? I really like it though. Def a cool direction!!"
