My magazine advert plans.

I've put together some ideas of what i was thinking about how to create a magazine advert. So that i know exactly what i want, i've made a temporary magazine advert.
I haven't yet discussed this with my partner however i will make give some justification to why this magazine advert should look likes this.

3/01/2012 Since me and my partner have now looked the temporary magazine advert and discussed it i am now ready to give justifications to why i believe why certain things are included in such ways.

Reasons for the colour black and white:

You may have noticed that many magazine adverts are full of bright colourful colours that is used to attract the audience. Black and White are rarely used, thus to be able to make our magazine advert appealing we are going to make use of these colours. We want this advert to stand out from those bright colours and make people wonder why is it made use of such basic colours.  For me personally, Black and white brings out different vibe and moods.

The Scan code at the side?:

I want to make use of the scan code as we have millions and millions of people using blackberry and since i own a blackberry thus i am aware of the fact that there is an app which scans bar codes as shown and it gives you opportunity to shop online etc... I am thinking of perhaps letting the scan code so that the readers can get an opportunity to access information on that particular album on their phones. 

The website:

Websites are found regularly on magazine adverts therefore we also made use of it. At the top we are going to write "win concert tickets" or something along that kind of idea so that we can gain publicity for  our music video. It also allows the audience to get on the site and access more information on it.

The quote from the actual lyrics:

If you notice, there is a quote in red that actually is part of the music's lyrics. This is the actual lyrics we are going to use in the REAL magazine advert because this is what the music video is about. It is very important for us to get the message across to the audience so that they know exactly what they're watching. This is the only part in RED colour because i wanted it to stand out from the black and white so it's one of the first thing the reader will notice. Red also symbolises love,romance and this music video is about this which is why this colour is there.

HMV and Itunes:

HMV and Itunes are both equally important to the music world therefore, I would like to include these on my actual magazine advert. HMV and Itunes is where the sales of music available for everyone and it's a platform for profit for the music industry. Therefore it is important to let the readers know where it will be available to purchase.

The Magazine advert headline:

The headline is 'Stargazer' which is the name of the album and single. I have stars dropping from the sides to imply that it is shooting stars. Reason for this is because this male in this music video is a dreamer. He dreams big! And he works equally hard to get where he wants but of course his personal life gets neglected in this process.  I am not sure about the colour as it's not very appealing. But since it's nt the original i still have time to think twice and carefully about my use of colours and be able to give justifications.
