Final Album Advert

This is my album advert for the promotion of the band 'Black Out'. The chosen logo design is used for their name, which is written on the album cover as well as for the advert, as that is their trademark. I have included all of the conventions for an album advert, for example the actual album cover- which is placed in the middle as that is the main focus/purpose for the advert. Either side of this is the writting which explains the needed information. For example when the album comes out, and what may feature in the album. I chose the magazines 'MOJO' and 'NME' as the reviewers for the album, as they associate with the same genre as the band, which is indie pop. I have also chosen the record labels 'Rough trade' and 'Columbia'- as many other bands, with the same genre as mine, are signed to them. I have also included the website beside this, if the audience would want to search for more information. I have also made an easier device by including the QR reader at the right hand corner, with the text 'scan for more information' to make it more interactive with the audience. As you can see I have designed two adverts; originally I put the yellow, white, and blue smoke- which was taken during the filming process for the music video- behind the mid-shot of the band. I then put a black and white effect onto the band members so they stand out more. I then thought it didn't quite work, so I decided to put the black and white effect for everything, which worked out well, as the smoke adds a nice effect as the background instead of it being just white- the whole concept of the constant theme of the smoke relates back to the digipak.
