Final Magazine Poster

Final Digipak

Magazine Advert: Final touches

We decided that the font used on the front of the digipak should be used on the magazine advert also as it would show an obvious visual link and work with continuity. It also represetns our video well with its informal and handwriting-like style. After looking at other classmate's work, we also found that they had a brief line about what the digipak included, whilst ours did not. We thought it was self explanatory and felt there was no need, but after looking at our classmate's one we also thought it would be best to put it in anyway - it seemed more professional and informative to our target market/customer/Feeder fan.

Magazine Advert: Audience Feedback

From class mates and teachers, they have said that the final version of the magazine advert testing (first one on development post 2) was the most similar to the digipak and also most vibrant in colour. Therefore, we will continue to develop this design and add copyright logos, website addresses, and an "OUT NOW" - Refer to "What a Magazine Advert Need".

Magazine Advert Development 2

Development continued.. While colouring the images, and changing layers, we made sure to follow a colour scheme similar to the Digipak. At fist we were just testing the tools and creating a variety of images, but we then decided the magazine advert should link to the digipak at a glance; hence through the colour scheme as it is most noticeable

Magazine Advert Development

After a group discussion, we settled on the idea of using an image that incorporates everything in our "Just A Day" video. This included the Little Miss Sunshine plush toy, and a drum kit where the cover is the physical "Terminal Moraine" - the name of one of our bands. The creepy looking eyes and stars also represent the hallucinations and "psychedelic" feel when high on drugs - another element of the music video as it is implied that the male protagonist takes part in drug use. Other symbols/drawings on the doodle are not necessarily seen in the music video, but just things in every day life, such as the tooth bush and mug. The doodle was done with pencil, then drawn over with black fine line The pencil was rubbed out, and the doodle was scanned into the computer. When saved as a JPEG, it was uploaded onto Photo shop, and markings/dirt were erased to create a clean image. I put this main image on the server, where Jack and Jam could also also upload it onto Photo shop to edit/colour.
