Magazine Ad Mock-up

I thought it would be a good idea to do a quick mock-up of my magazine ad on picmonkey.com just to get an idea of the layout of the product and see if my initial ideas will work.

Magazine Ad Mock-up One:

Obviously this is just a quick mock-up to get an idea of if the layout works, etc. so it isn't up to the standard needed for my actual products. I haven't done a photoshoot for my ancillary texts yet so for the main image I just used on of the behind the scenes pictures I took of Emily, who plays my artist, during one of the filming sessions. The fonts used are also just two of the fonts that were available to use on picmonkey.com, not the real fonts I'll be including (but they were the ones I felt had a similar style). I included all the conventional features of a magazine ad that I will be putting on my product, e.g. release date, included singles, record label logo, social media, etc. so I could ensure the placement I was going to use worked effectively.

From creating this I now know the layout I wanted to use for my product works well and looks professional, and the placement of each feature is appropriate.
