My Best Magazine Advert Idea (J.P)

I have gone along with the idea of having the digipak cover blown up so that it fits the magazine advert size. Although I feel that it would spoil the surprise of a brand new digipak cover, therefor I have tried to change it a little bit. 

Ideas For My Magazine Advert (J.P)

I have now started to come up with ideas for my magazine advert, using the images from our digipak photo shoot so that it links in well with the digipak cover, this is so the audience can associate the advert with the new CD. These are a few of my ideas that I have had, I don't really think that these have worked. 

Magazine Advert Analysis (J.P)

Before I decide what image from our photo shoot I would like to use on my magazine advert, I have decided that I am going to analyse different magazine adverts and magazine covers first. I have decided to do this so that I can look at the way the photos have been used in both. All of the magazine adverts and covers that I am looking at in close detail are all covers that are featuring Katy Perry. 

This is the first magazine cover that I have chosen to look at. I have chosen this one as I feel that it is one of Katy Perry's more classy magazine covers. The first thing that I notice about this cover is that the MLS (medium long shot) of Katy Perry is the centre piece of the cover, with all the titles and font around her, giving her a frame.

I also like the styling of this photograph along with the font as the different colours of the font goes well with katy Perry's outfit. I also like the subtle tints of black in her makeup which compares with the colour of her hair and top. I think that the pose that Katy is doing is a very classy pose which I tried to copy in the photo shoot for my digipak.

This magazine cover of Katy Perry on 'Lucky' magazine is yet again another classy image of Katy Perry that reflects her more self respected side. I have chosen this cover to look at mainly because I like the styling of the photograph and I also tried to re-create this type of image in the photo shoot that I did for my digipak design.

This is a magazine cover for 'Billboard', that is acting as a cover and an advert for the release of her album, this is due to the image on the front being part of the photographs that were taken for the album. The fact that Katy Perry's image is in front of the magazines name is reflecting how she is the main focus for this magazine. This is also reflected with her name being in bold and not covered by anything, unlike the magazine's name. 

I like this image of Katy Perry as she is looking straight into the camera, looking directly at her audience. This is also one of the more natural and elegant photos of Katy Perry, which is what I am aiming for in my work, the more elegant and classy side of the artist. 

I have noticed a pattern between the majority of the magazine covers containing Katy Perry, and that is that most of the front covers have MLS (medium long shot) images on the front. This is a characteristic that i will aim to keep so that my magazine advert conforms to the forms and conventions of magazine advertisements.
