Magazine Advert Inspirations


Paloma Faith and Lana Del Rey are both very unique artists, and this pose is something that I liked anyway so when I saw these two artists doing it I thought that it might work for my artist too.
Below is a series of pictures of Ellie Gouldings album cover, and although they aren't adverts, I really like how she has used lighter colours and creative editing to create synergy between the albums imagery and the album name, Lights.
With Halycon, I like the layout of the album name and the artist name. I like how it's in the middle of the cover - and although the other album has a similar layout, Haylcon uses easy to read and bold font to keep the album cover simple yet effective.



Sky Ferreira is an artist that is very different and unique, and has similar conventions as to how I want my artist to be portrayed, even though her music is of a different genre. Below is an example of her album cover, and if I chose to use this for my digipak then it would synergise well to use the same picture or a similar one on my magazine advert for the album. Although I like the ideas for the other adverts, I feel that this would stand out on an album cover and I want my digipak and my advert to synergise with each other.



It leaves a lot of room for text, so release dates and critics ratings etc. It also has sketches on it, granted it isn't digital art but it's something that I am capable of doing with my skill and my budget.
Below are a few examples of some magazine adverts that I did, and I used Jennifer Lawrence as an example model because I wanted to experiment with different poses and different uses of colour and some different sketches:
Out of these three designs, I have decided to pursue the third and final one. This is because it not only synergises with the album cover, but because it is something that my target audience will definitely like (I know this from my research) and therefore it has a better chance of being successful in terms of audience recognition.
