Finished CD magazine advert



I have altered the colour of the fonts so that they flow with the colours within the background image by complimenting them. The artist's name is now in a dark green with a brown outline to highlight the colours in the trees - the darker colours also make the words easier to read. I changed the name of the album font into a pale pink colour to compliment the pink colour of the artist's skirt, with a blue outline to make the words jump out of the page. I also altered the layout of the text 'Against The Wind' to make it easier to read by putting it across two lines in the centre of the advert at the top, so it's directly in the reader's eyeline and it's a lighter background colour, instead of the dark foilage which made it hard to decipher the 'Wind'. By centring the text it draws the reader's eyes down the middle of the advert which is where all of the vital information is positioned; the photo of the artist, the name of the artist, the name of the album, the album's status and where its available to buy.

I added in some secondary information at the bottom of the advert telling the reader what is being advertised and where they can buy it. I think this information is vital because without some sort of information it is unclear what exactly is being advertised. This text is in the same font as the name of the album to reinforce the continuity within the design. The blue colour of the font reinforces the natural feel of the imagery as it represents the colour of the sky, which also relates to the name of the album 'Against The Wind', thus following the typical natural conventions of the Indie genre.
