Varieties on the Magazine Advert

This was my first idea for the magazine advert as it includes both the tour dates and the album. I went with the band style and colours to promote make create an entire package with all the products included and I looked at an advertisement for Razorlight's tour (picture below) and took inspiration for the way in which the tour dates are presented. However this first advert is too much weighted towards advertising the tour and needs to be advertising the album more effectively, this the reasoning behind the next design I made.

This design focuses more on the album than on the tour which fits in with the requirements, however the simplicty of the design is ruined as there is too much going on mithin the advert, thus drawing attention away from the purpose of it and just moking it confusing. The only other option I have got is to remove the tour dates completely and just advertise the album. If I was advertising the tour though i would use my first idea as this is less confused and appears more professional because it is based on a proper production advertising the Rasorlight tour.

Here I have removed the tour date to make it less cluttered and have enlarged the image of the album to just advertise that. It is this which is my final magazine product and is the one I have chosen to use in conjunction with the digipak and the music video because the image of Tamas joins the three and the block colour pattern joins the digipak to the magazine advert as well as the image of the digipak on the advert.
