Mock Magazine Advert

As part of research, we were asked to create a magazine advert for a specific genre. We did this by researching and looking into common themes and images used within that genre. The genre I was given was Reggae, with the artist name of Taz and Nate. When researching this genre, we saw the common theme of the Jamacian flag and the colours of that used widely. There were also a lot of images of marijuana and lions. These images were used instead of the artist, as a common theme was that the artist didn't feature much in the advert. A common element throughout was that the record label was credited on the advert, this was only a small image but was clear. The magazine adverts also included ratings and reviews of that album, including star ratings and quotes. Therefore, we took this intro consideration and made a magazine advert to fit the genre.

By creating a mock magazine advert, it meant we got an idea how to use basic tools on Photoshop, making it easier when it comes to make our own for the artist. It also gave us an idea of what the common themes are to include, not just in one genre, which we can use when we create our final edit.
