Above is my original version of my magazine advert for the album, while below is my final copy. My first draft was far too rushed and i missed out some very key details. through feedback i realised the main image for the album cover was far too dull, as well as the entire advert being very blank, leaving far too much empty space and not having the dynamics of an advert. To corrent this i have added reviews from magazines along the side as well as moving my main image from the centre to the left to provide room for them. I have also made sure that these reviews are in bhright white as one of the complaitns was the colours of the text weren't bright enough in comparison to the dark background. However i have kept the same background and general colour scheme as this was viewed very positively in my feedback, fitting the genre of the band perfectly as well as including the Heartagram logo in the backdrop. Overall i am very pleased with my advert, i feel i have improved massively on my first effort and that it fits the band's image perfectly.
Unfortunately i couldn't find any past example of adverts for rock albums to analyse. This surprised me as i remember the music magazines being full of them, but after more thinking i realised that as we live in such a digital age of music magazines aren't really the place to advertise anymore and the print advert for music is dying out and being replaced with viral adverts across youtube and magazine websites.
