Ancillary 2: Advert Design Ideas

14:09

For the design of my advert I wanted to follow a conventional advert design. This includes imagery from the album cover, the artist name and title of the album. They also have an album release date and information about the institution and other promotional details like a website.

For my main imagery on my advert I want to include the album art from the cover and encorporate the same colour scheme of mustard, black and white.

I also wiat to encorpoarate the smae imagery on my album cover which is the outlie of the hands and the theme of flowers. I won't follow the exact design on the album cover and will play around with the positioning of hands and flowers.

Overall I want to keep a pretty simple design to my magazine advert such as this one by Arctic Monkeys for their album AM. I want to introduce a simple design, and a little amount of information or text to keep the focus on the imagery and design as it will further emphasize the appeal of the artist and create a recognizable motif. The ratio of background to text will focus more heavily on the background and I want to include as little information as possible and only keep critical details on the album release.

Although I am planning on following the template of a conventional magazine advert, I will change my dsign up a little bit and include the title of the album and the artist together as I did on my album cover. This is in order to keep some consistency within the image of my band and follow stereotypical conventions of the indie genre and many indie covers also combine artists and album names.


 I will also include a line that indicates that it is an album advert such as 'New Album' or 'The Brand New Album' which is s typical convention of magazine adverts such as this one by coldplay. I will also include a date of release which is crucial information for my audience. 



Overall I will be following many typical conventions of a magazine advert however I will exclude some elements of the conventional design and intend to keep my design as simple and minimalist as possible following a similar design to my album cover.
