Before we all started to create our magazine adverts we decided to share some ideas and different designs between us. We discussed different aspects of an alternative pop artist and analyzed a series of different magazine adverts from different artists of the same genre. This gave us a clearer perspective on what we would want and need our advert to look like.
The first magazine design follows the conventions of alternative pp music. It has a large photo of the artist at the top which has been used commonly in magazine adverts from artists like Jason Mraz and Ed Sheeran. It uses a unique typography which helps convey the originality of the artists style of music. In the advert i like the way the artist is positioned and looking out of the frame. I think that the text size and colour could be changed to create a more recognizable contrast with the background.

To the right is Olivias magazine advert draft. In the advert i like how she has made the artists face have a big contrast between him and the background making it look more professional. I also like the typography she has used and how the 'Oakley' is a larger size than the artists first name 'Justin'. I think that the structuring of the magazine could be re arranged better. Their is loads of blank white spaces towards the bottom of the magazine advert making it look less professional. The magazine does follow the common conventions of an alternative pop artist when compared to other artists of the same music genre. This conveys how we are going in the right way to creating the perfect magazine advert.

To the left is my draft of an magazine advert. I really like how i used typography to emphasize the name of the artist making it stand out much more to the reader. The black and white background and the colour picture in the middle is too connote the difference between past and present which is what we want to convey in our music video. I think that the magazine advert is conventional to the music genre as it uses trees and grass in the background which compares to a lot of alternative pop music videos which usually contain visuals of nature and natural things. I think that the typography at the bottom of the advert could be improved to be more clear and stand out more to the reader.

For our groups final magazine advert we decided to use olivia's. We thought that hers looked much more proffesional due to the seriesw of different tools she used on photoshop. We also believed that it conveyed the generic conventions of an alternative pop artist. Olivias magazine advert also uses a good typography as it is clear and makes the magazine advert look real and proffessional. Also the contrast between the artist and the background through the use of the tools on photoshop made it easier to choose what magazine advert we wanted.
This post demonstrates good group work and this is evident through the simialr themes and images that you selected on using. You have analysed each advert well and you have considered some of the conventions.
