After researching into what makes an effective front cover of a magazine, and what magazine would be most appropriate for our magazine advert we decided to create a magazine advert that was image focused. Therefore we wanted to use a picture of the actual band, we know we had to get authorisation for this, therefore we decided to email the band. After getting the all clear, we included an image that had a red tint, as our theme was of black white and red. The red colour used was for important words. 'Breakdown' was in red as it is the title of the song and the main theme in the music video the article was advertising. The description of what the DVD included was in white along with a website link of the band incase the audience wanted to find out more about the band. A 'Facebook' logo was used to show that the band were intact with the trend of social networking. As our music video was aimed at youth culture we felt that it was important to have covered all media where followers users or hits could be gained. We also used a HMV logo as we felt that it was the most popular institution for purchasing of products such as music, DVDs etc.
