Construction of Magazine Advert

Firstly after selecting the image I was going to use for the magazine advertisement, I went onto PicMonkey and auto adjusted the exposure of the image. 

I then added the sweethearts affect to make sure it matched the CD DigiPaks. 

I then added the photo onto AdobePhotoShop, then used the magic wand tool to select the background.

I then used the brightness tool to make the background darker than the artists so they stand out more. 

I then added a box over top of the bottom half of my artists to allow the writing to be seen easier, and made it a similar colour to the background. I then added the companies logos and the 'Meet Me Half Way' font.

I then added more fonts and logos to the image, but had not placed them in the correct placements yet.

I had now placed them into the correct places and adjusted sizes so they all fit. 

I then added more information onto the magazine advert and placed the into the correct places. 

This is the final product after editing and placing the text and images into the correct places. 

After re-looking at my magazine advertisement, I decided  that my magazine advert was too crowded, and even though it has the same text, editing techniques as the CD DigiPak I don't feel as though it keeps to the same theme. I want them to both be the same theme and look similar to the CD DigiPak, as I feel continuity is important for the magazine advert and the CD DigiPak. 

I selected a different image that I thought would work better, I then once again fixed the exposure on PicMonkey.

I then once again added the sweethearts filter to keep with the theme of the rest of my products. 

I then added the photo onto AdobePhotoShop and used the magic wand tool to select the background. 

I then used the brightness tool to make the background darker. 

After adding a selection of different fonts, logos and images, I decide to add two boxes the same colour as the background and lower the opacity so it was see through. 

I then placed all the boxes into the correct places and started laying out the fonts and logos. 

I then had all the fonts, images and logos into the correct places into the correct sizes. 

I decided to change the colour of the bottom font as it didn't seem to look right. 

This is my second final magazine advert, I prefer this magazine advert a lot more than the first one as it is less crowded, easier to read, sticks to the theme of the CD DigiPak.
