After creating the first design for our magazine advert, we
realised when comparing it to other magazine adverts promoting albums and
audience feedback that we needed a lot more information on it. Our advert was
very simplistic which at first we thought would be effective as it gives the
short and sweet idea of the advert, giving the band’s name, picture of the
album and the release date. However, when the ‘finalised poster’ was done I
thought that there was a lack of information and that it looked very plain and
boring. To make sure that I was correct, I chose to ask for audience feedback
from our target audience. They gave the same response as what I thought and
gave us some ideas for what we could include. As a group we have decided to
redesign the poster and to include other information on it such as the
production company and website link in the bottom corner of the page, some
ratings of the album from related music companies as well as mentioning some
songs that are on the album. I also think that it is a good idea to brighten up
the background as it is hard to tell that it is a picture of leaves which is
relatable to our video and digipak. Some of the audience feedback that we
received about our initial poster alongside the poster are below:
Tiarnan Bown:
“It seems like quite a boring poster, it didn’t draw me in
at all, and if I saw it in a magazine I wouldn’t have a second look at it. I
think that it needs a bit more colour to it as well as maybe some more writing”
Joe Power:
“There isn’t much information about it at all, I’ve never heard
of the band and so I think that there should be something about how good this
album or band is written somewhere on the poster. Also, if it had a review or
two it would probably catch my eye”
