Magazine Advert...



This the image i have used in my Magazine Advert task in order to promote the album. I will have the image on the center on the advert widened with two black rectangular boxes going along the bottom and the top.

Top: On the top, i will have written the original artist name, Chris Brown and underneath that I will have the album name, Lottery, adding some affects.

Bottom: On the bottom of the Advert, I will have OUT NOW written on the center in capital letter and besides that, I will have a little image of the album cover.

Because of the lack of good quality images, my cover will look blury when it is printed out as i will have to stretch it.

Finalizing the Digipak

Upon finishing my cover, i made some final amendments so it catches the users eyes. I played around with some affect and added it onto the inside covers. I done double layers for his name so they stand out more..

Editing the Digipak..

Front Cover: During editing the front cover, i used Photoshop tools to cut out a pictures of Cordell. I had to make sure it was smooth, but did have problems around some edges. I placed the picture on top of the established city picture. To make the picture blend in with the background, I used the fade in tool so the picture of Cordell seems like its really there. I then titled the cover Chris Brown Lottery and placed it on top of the cover, which i also blended in with the sky.

Back Cover: On the back, I had a different idea with a framed picture of cordell in black and white affect. This is also made faded so some edges look sharper then others. I then placed a black rectangle box at the bottom where the barcode will go. I also placed the Title Lottery into the black rectangle in a white font and placed the barcode on the right.


This is a sample of how the back cover may look like when it is finished...

Inside Covers: Because the digipak goes from a light colour to a darker color, i needed to make sure it goes consistantly through the album cover. On the first inside cover, I contrasted some colors on photoshop so it goes from white, then gradually into black. Instead of having pictures, which may bore the covers, i instead had 'Chris' on the first inside cover and 'Brown' on the second.
