Work in progress - magazine advert

This is the progress of the magazine advert, we first started off working out how to add the gobo effect through editing as our original idea with the gobo was to be for the effect to be done through a stencil when taking the picture, this idea did not work so the decision was made to add the effect in the editing stage, this picture shows the first stages of the editing process for this effect. We wanted the theme of the digi pac to be continued in the magazine advert so we decided to stick with the same grey scale/ black and white. We also made sure we were including the codes and conventions that relates to a magazine advert this includes the reviews, record label, the artists name and the album title.

The second image shows an almost finished idea, we decided that the lines of the gobo were too big so we down sized them in order for them to fit with the title of fine lines, we also changed the contrast and the different adjusted the different colour tones in order to get the look and the tonnes of black and white that we thought best worked. We removed the black box as we didn't feel that it was appropriate for the magazine advert and plates around with the layout of the text. We made her signature of her name bigger so it was more dominant in the advert and made the magazine reviews come from different sources so that they were more appropriate for the genre and to make them fit with the codes and conventions of out magazine advert.
