I created a mock-up of how my magazine advert would look on an actual magazine. To do this, I used the grouping tool to select the whole creation rather than move individual elements of the image. Following this, I used the warp tool to manipulate the image to the correct sizing of the page, and the  used the paint bursh tool to create a glossy sheen down the page as would be seen in a real magazine advert with high quality paper.

In this post I show and discuss my completed magazine advertisement for the album. This is my completed magazine advertisement for the album. I chose the same background that I featured on my CD cover, but cropped the image, as it was horizontal. I chose a simple white typography with a minimal black shadow effect on the text, and I included a common convention of magazine advertisements that I saw frequently through my research  which is line seperating text; I chose to place this underneath the album name and above the release date.

I chose to put the album title and artist name at the top of the page above the image, with the release date just below the image, along with social media links below that. I also wanted to feature a small image of the album itself in the corner as this is a common convention when it comes to magazine advertisements for albums. In production I plan...
