(Production) Final picture for magazine advert

Final picture:

My partner and I have looked through all of our initial designs, in order to help us decide which picture we want to use for our final magazine advert design. 

We looked at our magazine advert:

- FLAT PLAN

- INITIAL IDEAS 2

- MORE INITIAL IDEAS

- RECCI IMAGES

Final image

We have decided to use the above picture and layout for our final magazine advert. We choose this picture as we feel it gives an uplifting feel to the band and ensures the audience that the band's music does not all sound quite sad and emotional, like 'Man on Fire' does. Although this is our favourite picture and we feel it connotes the fun, young style we want for the band, we feel we could still improve it. 

Changes/additions to our final design:

- Quote from magazine about the band, e.g. 'BEST UPCOMING BAND OF 2011'

- Brightness and contrast of the photo, to make it stand out more

- HMV logo

We will only add these aspects, however, if they look right and does not make the magazine advert look to over crowded.
