Magazine Ideas

For my final magaizne piece I have decided to create a Drum and Bass/Dubstep magazine. There are not many magazines out there based on these kinds of genre but there are a few examples.
I mainly looked at the magazine 'ATM' which is focuses mainly on Drum and Bass.

This was the first example that I looked at. I think that this cover works really well with the red colour scheme and it gives off a good vibe. It is not overloaded with colours or information and is basic yet effective. There is almost a 'graffiti' like look to the title and writing that features on the cover which suits the genre.







This is another example that I looked at. This cover again is very simple but works well and the font, image and colour scheme used all work together and match well. The cover is not overloaded with information
and overall it is a really clean cover.

Final Advert Piece


This my final advert piece that I have produced. I based my advert on alcohol awareness I think that the final image I have came out with works very effictivley. I played around with the brightness and contrast of the image and I also cropped the image down. I then went on to add the 'Alcohol Know Your Limits' Logo and then also added a black boarder around the edge. Overall I think that the advert has worked really well and the message it gives has worked and is clear. To improve this advert I think I could of improved the boarderto make it look cleaner and also made sure the photograph was fully in focus.

Adverts

I think that this advertisement is very effective in the way that the image is seen by the audience. The image is the first thing that stands out from the page and the purpose of it is to make the viewer feel nauseous. There is also important information on the flyer like numbers and also other bits of information.









I think that this advertisement is simple yet effective. The message used is one that is a bit different yet it still captures the attention of the audience and gets them thinking. There is a great sense of realism about this advert as well. The image used looks like something you would come across on a typical night out which is why realism comes across. There is also the well know "Alcohol Know Your Limits" slogan in the bottom right corner which features on many of these kind of adverts.






This advertisement again is one that is very effective. It uses two images of before and after. The 'after' image is bigger and emphasised more in the advert. The image used is one that catches the attention of the audience straight away as it makes us feel shocked. There is also a good catchy slogan at the top which is in big bold letters and stands out. There is also useful information at the bottom of the advert about the person and then name of the charity etc.
