Draft of my magazine ad

This is the draft to my magazine ad, it looks awful! But you get a vague idea of what i am trying to do. The lines at the top are where my Masthead and song name are going to be be. My model is going to be facing away from the camera. The shot is going to be a mid-shot, so we don't see her whole body, however we see the setting with the forestry. My model is of the same stature, and is going to be wearing a white dress, with her hair curled. I have looked at outfit choices, and picked out the most suitable one to my idea.
The picture is expected to be portrait, as Magazine ads are not landscape, i had to keep this in mind for when i was taking pictures. The colours are quite bright, and look as if its in an enchanted garden of some sort.

Production Log

Today I have looked at magazine advert layouts and tried to come up with a plan for mine, i have taken some inspiration from different pop magazines. So I now know how to layout the reviews, the image and masthead.

Draft of my DigiPak

I have done my draft of my DigiPak and decided to go with the forestry-enchanted feel. As Pop is predominantly a female based genre. My main colour theme is Pink. I decided to do this as I know that the fanbase is predominantly Female. I decided to make the model face the other way, as it gives the picture an element of mystery and ambiguity.
The white dress connotes purity, this is an important factor as my target demographic are from ages 11-25. So the younger audience will see my model as an aspirational figure, and someone to look up to. The dress also resembles a wedding dress, which ties in with the theme of Love in the song "A Thousand Years". I put a blank box, to navigate where my album is going to be, I need to take more shots in order to get my album picture. The stars are conventional for an album, however i might make it smaller as it is taking up more space than i expected. I used Photoshop CS6, as the software, I used two different fonts. One for the Name "ELLE" and "NEW" whilst the rest was another one. I put a border on the bottom of the picture, I made it translucent, and not as opaque. I also put the release date, so the fans are aware of when the album is out. I think for improvements I plan to change the colour of the release date and "New", as it is not very visible.
