Magazine advert feedback



         I uploaded all three drafts of the magazine advert to Facebook to get some feedback, and there was an overwhelming decision. As you can see most people voted for the third one out of the lot and I guess that was both a positive thing and negative also. I my self liked No.3 and No.1 equally, but I knew that No.1 conformed more to the 'recognisability' factor and to the overall branding side of things for my chosen band.                                                                                                      I talked to some other people about the magazine advert and why it was so good and there were a few consistent themes that arose. Firstly the main one was that everything was easier to see in this one, and I think was mainly because of the approach I took. My style for this was similar to the Thirty Seconds to Mars's advert where the font style/gig poster was used. Another theme was that it stood out because the other drafts had too much going on. Especially in No.2, there was too much writing within the image that was close together. I believe the simplicity and the centred text of No.3 makes it the best.



Although I do really like No.3 and everything that it does incorporate, I do really like No.1 and the amount it links to the music video and my Digipak. Therefore for my final magazine advert I feel it'd only be the best decision to create a new advert based on the positives from No.3 and No.1.
