Magazine Advert Planning

It is common to only use one image in an advert and this is what I will be doing for mine.
This is the image I will be using.

In the original advert I have positioned it more to the right and so you can only see half of her features, I will be using the remaining space of the white wall as the background for my text. My aim is to keep to a minimal and simplistic theme with only the natural colours in the image and of my house style of pink and white.

This is the sketch plan of my advert. 
None of the things which have been outlined or put in a box will have lines around them on the real copy, this is just to highlight what I am talking about.

1) The song name 

I made the song name (Pop Up) the central feature of my advert. Here you can see I wrote it in a large serif font and would be a basic colour such as white to fit with my house style of pink and white. My background is an off grey and so the white colour would show up. I want it to be the largest thing on the page - other than the image -  to catch the readers eye and draw attention to the song.

2) 'A Debut Single From...'

I wanted to make this sentence  lot smaller than the song name as it is not as important. It will be in the same font and colour but not in capital letters and may be in italics. 

3) Artists Name

Again this is a key piece of information to the advert, we need to know who wrote the song so we can find it in shops or online to buy it. I chose to design it slightly smaller than 'Pop Up' because I want the song title to be the most important thing on the advert, and if this were to be used in a real magazine, I presume some of the readers would already know who the artist is by the image. 
The font and colour will be exactly the same but the artists name just wont be as bold as 'Pop Up'

4) The image of the artist

The image I will be using is shown above, and will be positioned to the right. I have done this to only show one side of her face and her features. I think this creates a very interesting yet contemporary theme to the advert and more space for the content. 
I want an emphasis on the make up/ hair style of the artist - she will be wearing simple eye makeup and her dark hair will contrast with the white background, creating a eye catching and very strong image.

5) Social Media

To keep with the contemporary theme, I chose to designate a section to social media. With the increase in new media and access to the internet, it is the best way to contact an artist.
I will include a twitter account,facebook and tumblr account, which personally I find, are the most used social networking sites. They are not the real account of the artist - as I do not know what these are. 
I will include the actual logo, however this may ruin the house style as the colours will not match. This is something I will need to experiment with. 

6) Release Date

I have chosen to put the date at the bottom of the page as it will be on top of a black item of clothing and with a white font, will stand out. It should also be where the reader turns the page and can catch attention.
The problem with having the release date so small is that some people may miss it, which would cause a problem. The alternative would be to put it higher on the page.
