Ancillary Task Research- Magazine advert

I started of by researching different magazine adverts using the internet and magazines. This is one  of the examples I will be analysing:

It is clear to see form these examples the there is a constant theme running through the advertising and the product. This is something I will have to consider when creating the magazine adverts.

I also compared each advert making note of similarities and differences:

Similarities

Have and image

Band or artists name positioned at the top

Picture usually covering a large area of the advert

Album and band name

Different font sizes for different sections

Consistent fonts

Differences

Different backgrounds/ images

Different font colours

I used my research to put together initial ideas, sketches and detailed designs

I used my research to put together initial ideas, sketches and detailed designs.

Initial ideas- Brainstorms

Initial ideas- Sketches

Initial Ideas-Poll

I created a poll and questioned 20 people. This would give me an insight into what it is about an advert that attracts our target audience to buying the CD.

The questions and results:

Do you prefer simple or bold colours in an advertisment?

Yes: 11

No: 9

Do you prefer on main image or lots of small iages?:

One main: 19

Lots small: 1

Do you like lots of information to read on an advertisement?

Yes:4

No:16

I will use all the information i have gathered when creaing my final magazine advert.
