Graphics- Designing a magazine advert (Evaluation)

Magazine advert

Today I designed my own magazine advert on photoshop and I advertised a chocolate bar called 'Monsters'. First I drew three sketches of the magazine advert I am going to produce so have an idea how I am going to lay out my advert. I had to include a headline that stands out, a slogan, a logo, and a background that will go well with the advert. I researched some banners to help me know different styles that I can use. I also researched how what magazine adverts look like so I can have an idea how to lay in out.

After that I went one photoshop and started to design my magazine advert and used the sketches that I drew to help me. 

What I learned was how to use the magic wand tool which deletes the background of an image so it fits in with the background I already have. I also learned how to add a background to the advert and all I had to do is put it on the first layer. 

The target audience for this magazine advert is mostly children because it is bold and there are cartoon monsters on it which is eye catching and gets their attention.

This is what I created and in my opinion I think this is a good design because it is bold, it is spaced out right, and it is clear to what it is selling. The title 'Monsters' is eye catching and the product is well centered and the slogan "A bar a day keeps the monsters away" is catchy. 

I added a brick wall as my background which fits in well with the magazine advert and I inserted two monsters to make it more eye catching for children. The monsters on each side of the chocolate bar make the advert more fun.

What I would do differently next time would be make the the title 'Monsters' a different colour to make it stand out more because the background is red so the title should be a different colour.
