Editing the first draft of the magazine advertisement

Below is the first draft of the magazine advertisement that I have created.

Although I like the first draft, there are a few minor changes that I intend on

making to the design of it, including making the album name ‘Vengeance’

stand out more. In order to do this I decided I wanted to change the Character

spacing. Here:

This allows the title to look like this, which I prefer as although it is a smaller

font – it stills spreads almost the size of the title, making it more noticeable.

I have also changed the font decoration here, including:

Font style before: Calibri, changed to Cambria because ‘Calibri’ font appeared

too structured and formal, which I thought was unsuitable for the band and

theme.

Font size before: 16pt, changed to 20pt as it could be seen better and much

clearer when it was bigger.

As you can see below I also changed the font colour of this text, as it was white

before it looked too bright for the dark image, so I changed it to a faint grey

colour so that it blends

with the image more,

yet it’s still possible to

read the text. Due to

resizing the text I also

had to position it higher

on the page, this is an

advantage as it looks

better on the image

and also makes the text

easier to see.
