Final Magazine Advertisement

This is my final product for my magazine advertisement. I used this picture to create a field of depth for my target audience, the warm colours are to represent the warm lyrics of the songs featured on the digipak advertised and it's also a photo of identity as the front cover of the digipak has the same photograph. I think the pathway on the picture draws the audience in. The font used I wanted to have a vintage feel about it to represent the personality of the singer/songwriter, who wears vintage fashion and has a country rock feel to his acoustic voice. I made my font of Erick Baker and Stay Awhile in a bigger size to make it stand out more and grabs my audiences attention as it's placed in the middle of the photograph. I also used the affect of making the font smaller as you read down the page so my target audiences are wanting to read on, it also makes sure that the majority of the picture isn't covered by font. I used two tools on Photoshop to edit my photograph to be more aesthetically pleasing to my target audience. One of these is the lens flare effect which gives a more professional photograph look which I was going for. It also creates more depth to the photograph. The second effect I used was the sprayed strokes effect under the tab of brush strokes. I used the lowest number of affect I could so it doesn't look artificial but it still has an artistic feel about the warm dark colours to contrast with the bright white font.
