Finishing my Music Magazine Advertisement

I have now finished my music magazine advertisement and this is the finish look of the advertisement:

The thing that I only need to do was to add the photo of Ellie onto the magazine advertisement as when I last left it, I added all the details and the picture of my CD Digipak.

I first chose this photo that I took of Ellie as I feel as though it would fit better on the advertisement but also that the photo is more focused on the facial expression of Ellie. This would help make the advertisement more intriguing and interesting.

I then used the 'lasso tool' to cut Ellie from the background and feathered it before cutting it out. This gave the image of Ellie a smoother look and edge so that it would help give my advertisement a more professional look.

I then placed the image of Ellie onto the advertisement, resizing it so that it fits and looks creative and interesting. I also like how the petals comes across the picture of Ellie as it makes it more quirky and more eye-catching.

I then tried different effects to make the picture look more striking and interesting. I came across the effect of 'fresco' and really liked the effect. The thing that I like about the effect is the contrast as the darkness from the effect against the bright, vivid colour of the yellow in the advertisement, makes it stand out more and looks more striking.
I then changed the brightness of the picture so that it fits more with the advertisement to match with bright and vivid colour in the background of the advertisement.
I then changed the shape of the text of the reviews so that it looks more intersting and makes the advertisment more eye-catching.


Overall, I am really happy with the finish product of the music magazine advertisement as it is really bright and appealing like the look of the CD Digipak I created. It also links both of the products together as they are both quite similar which would help with the promotional aspect but also promotiong the artist's quirky image. I really like the style that I created with both the CD Digipak and the magazine advertisement as it is really bright and creative but also would link to my music video as it is also that fun and quirky look that runs through all my media products.
