Development of my magazine advert

These are the three stages of my magazine advert. The first picture is an outline of the bubble with my artist inside it. I then developed this bubble idea by adding another layer of bubble to make it more clear that my artist has a bubbly and bright image. Finally I decided to use opacity on the bubble over her to make it look like she is inside her own little world. The addition of the feather next to the italic writing imitates my chosen symbol used from my digipak. Along with this, I included the ratings, a quote by MTV to advertise her brand image. I got the logo advertising the song on iTunes so that people will have access to her song online. Again the record label is embedded to convey the genre of the music I am advertising.

5 top original images

 I decided to use these 5 images for my digipak and magazine advert as they advertise my artist's brand image and bubbly personality. Alessia is posing with the hat to show off her cheeky and fun side. The bright colours of her clothes and makeup heightens the pop genre as well as illustrating her youth. The vibrant scarf adds a flamboyant style to her brand image as it has a soft texture which also depicts her elegance as a young artist.  

Feedback on digipak

I have received targets and feedback from my teacher in which she has suggested for me to use a close up of my artist for the faces of my digipak. 

Reflection on magazine advert

After reading and applying the feedback given from my teacher, I made sure my magazine advert fits with the conventions and genre of synthpop. My advert meets the required target audience of young teenage girls as I have used the same colour pink as the basis of my theme, similar to my digipak. The baby blue italic font adds a fun and girly essence, illustrating my artist's brand identity. The bubbles enhance an upbeat element to the music in which my artist is advertising. In addition I added the 'Available on iTunes' logo to show that the music is out online, which enables people to have access to the song. Alongside this, the 'MTV' logo advertises the hottest and newest singles which I thought would be useful to place on my magazine advert, in order to promote the song. My artist's digipak is also advertised in the bubble to show how both themes connect and to promote the album itself so that the audience can go purchase it.
