Stereo Decade Magazine Advert

We have gone for a minimalist approach to our magazine advert, after looking at genuine adverts in magazines such as NME and Smash Hits we discovered that written information was kept to a minimum with only essential information displayed. Such as the band name, release dates, reviews and tour dates. The image we have used was taken by me which I then edited on Photoshop to make the guitar the only thing visible in the photo. The lettering we took from a website called dafont.com. We chose three different yet similar types of fonts because it helped to break up the advert and only having the band name in colour helps to draw attention to it. The name of the band is also visible on the guitar. We have also displayed the record label in the corner as this was typically visible on adverts that we looked at. After drafting three different magazine adverts we developed this one because it was more typical of the genre of music that we were creating the video for.
