The colours I have chosen are very conventional to the indie genre. I have chosen conventional colours so that audiences see clearly which genre of music my artist sings which will attract my target audience. The colours I have chosen to use for the text is a white colour with a pencil type effect which makes the magazine advert look personal and done by the artist himself which will build a relationship between the audience and the artist. The colours are also plain and simple which is conventional to the indie genre. The pencil font also makes the magazine advert look more realistic which is conventional to the indie genre. I've made the colour of the image black and white as this is also conventional to the indie genre, the black and white colouring will stand out to the audience and show clearly that the advert is promoting a song of the indie genre. The black and white colours connotes to sad and upset feelings therefore indicating to the audience what the album could be about which will make them buy the album. The black and white colouring will also build a relationship with the audience and the artist as they will sympathise for him as the colours promote his depressed mood.
3) Make sure you explain how elements used are conventional or not of the genre
Ive decided to create my magazine advert with a simple layout so that the image and text can be easily seen and read therefore the audience will understand the advert easily. I have also chosen to use a simple layout as its conventional to the indie genre. I've chosen to use the artists name 'Nico Johnson' right at the top of the advert as this clearly shows what the advert is promoting and promotes the artist as a strong influential artist as the text is right at the top of the advert. Ive chosen to make the image cover all of the advert as this makes the advert look appealing which will draw audiences in. The other text such as 'featuring hit single runaway' is at the bottom so that it doesn't cover the image of the artist so that it doesn't prevent the audience from understand the artists image. I've also put the other text 'new album king out now' at the side so that it still doesn't block the image of the artist.
I've used the image on my magazine advert as I believe its very conventional to the indie genre. The image is in black and white, the image is of the artist leaning against a wall with edgy diverse images on it. The background image is very conventional to the indie genre as its very unique and different. As the image is very quirky and different which makes the magazine advert visually appealing which will attract many audiences. The image also shows the audience clearly what genre of music the artist sings therefore attracting our target audience. I've also chosen this image as its very edgy and unique which will draw many audiences attention. The image of the artist is slightly covered by the text, I've done this so that it leaves the audience in mystery of the artist so that they would want to understand him more. However you do see his clothing which is casual therefore showing that he's an indie artist which will the audience will be able to relate to therefore building a relationship. I've chosen this image of the artist as the artist as he looks very laidback which gives off a good reputation of him and also the audience will be able to relate to him easily. From the image the audience will want to find out more about the artist therefore more likely to buy the album.
The typography i've used is very bold simple font. I've chosen to use this style of font as its conventional to the indie genre as its very simple and plain. The font is also the same style through out as I wanted my advert to be visually appealing to my target audience and stand out. Ive used a bold font so that the text is clear to the audience so that they understand the information clearly. By using a bold font connotes to my artist as being a strong artist which gives off a good reputation of him therefore audiences are more likely to buy the album. The style of language is also simple as its conventional to the indie genre but so that the magazine advert is clear to understand. Ive chosen simple language so that its easier to understand and read which will make the magazine advert more appealing.
I have followed all conventions of the indie genre such as black and white colouring, bold font, a simple layout, simple language and an edgy diverse image when creating this magazine advert as I wanted the advert to clearly promote my artist as a strong indie artist.
When using photoshop to create my magazine advert I found a few features that I struggled with. The main thing I found difficult was adding different fonts from the internet to my magazine advert. I could find any websites which allowed me to download fonts. I overcame this by using fonts that are already on photo shop. I also found difficult cutting out images using the lasso tool as the image kept coming out rough, however I came over this by practicing a few times.
I found editing my text quite simple as I already had experience with using the tools. I also found using the text tool quite simple as it is easy to use because all you had to to is create a box and type information inside the box. I believe my strengths helped me create a successful magazine advert as I could use the main tools quite easily which helped create my magazine advert smoothly.
I believe my magazine advert conforms to indie conventions the colour scheme, layout and text is all quite plain and simple. I think my magazine advert appeals to my target audience (13-25) as the image is quite interesting and edgy which will clearly show them that the magazine advert is off the indie genre. Also my magazine advert appeals to my target audience as its a very simple yet effective magazine advert cover and will be drawn in by the edgy image. The font will also appeal to them as its bold yet simple which makes the cover look effective.
The layout is also simple which will make it easier to read which will draw their attention also. I believe creating an individual magazine will help to create a successful group magazine advert as we can look at all our individual adverts and incorporate many different ideas and features. We will be able to see clearly what worked and what doesn't when analyzing our individual magazine adverts therefore our group magazine advert is more likely to be successful.

You have provided a sound analysis of your individual advert, explaining clearly why you have incorporated all of your elements.
ReplyDeleteYou need to:
1) Make sure you explain all your points fully by explaining why or how an element is seen in a certain way
2) Fully explain why this advert will appeal to your TA and why
3) Make sure you explain how elements used are conventional or not of the genre
You have clearly explained whether elements used are conventional of your chosen genre and why, as well as explaining how your advert will appeal to your TA. You have also explained how elements can connote certain meanings to a degree; however, some points can be developed further - particularly style of language.
