Magazine Advertisements

As part of our ancillary tasks which is to create a magazine advertisement for our new game, I thought it was a good idea to carry out research into different magazine advertisements to inspire our creativity and design.




To start off, I researched solely into magazine advertisements to find a wide range of different adverts for anything. I wanted to do this, as it enabled me to make an overall decision on the kind of features most use. I came to a conclusion that big titles and use of lots of images makes an effective magazine advert.

The image above is a magazine advert for weight watchers. Looking at the magazine advert, the first thing you see is the '100' because it is the biggest size font. There is a gradient background used which improves the appearance of the advert. It also uses a number of images to enhance its look.

 

The image above is a magazine advert for some sweets. The image appears to be the most dominant as it takes up most of the page. The advert mainly uses images and little text which makes it more interesting to the reader.
