Hand-drawn magazine advert

Mock up of magazine advert and feedback

The image above presents my hand-drawn magazine advert for Kehlani's new album called 'Gangsta'. I decided to use the same image as the digipak's front cover, as I felt that advertising the same image will encourage more public acknowledgment and recognition. Whereas, if I were to advertise a different image, then this may cause confusion due to the artist not being as well-known yet to do this. Furthermore I felt that this image presents the artist clearly within the center of the frame and the bold, colorful text immediately grabs the audience's attention. 

In addition, the only difference between the image above and the digipak front is that I have included an 'Available on iTunes' symbol at the top right which will inform the audience about where and when the album can be purchased. Another point to note is that I cave also included a bar-code at the top left and the text 'The new album by' at the bottom of the advertisement, again so that the audience is aware of this being an advertisement for a new album.
