This is an advert that I came across for Jana Kramer's album Love. What I like about this advert is the simplicity of it. I like how the image takes control and the typography is very subtle. The framing of the image allows you do read the image from top to bottom because it is very centralized, this is then met with the juxtaposition of the shape of a heart with the word 'Love' in it at the bottom of the image. This really sets the image off because the broken sand is such a contrast to the clean, smooth sand which in turn contrasts 'love' because people assume that love is smooth and easy when really is can be broken and bumpy. The positioning of the text also centralizes the image making you look directly in the center at first glance, the text really stands out on this image which is a good thing because this makes the advert make sense without over crowding it with too many words.
This an advert for the release of Carrie Underwood's single 'Jesus, Take the Wheel' I don't like this advert very much because of how faded the colors are. The image seems very white washed and this makes it look very old. I don't like this antique look for a album advert because you want to make it seem new and up and coming, not old and already done. I also don't like how close up the picture is taken. The framing is bad as it cuts off the top of her head and I don't think it shows her as well as it could. The photo is very soft and kind of blury which doesn't appeal to the eye. I don't think I will be taking anything from this magazine advert.
I really like the framing of this magazine advert. The rule of thirds has been put in action whilst designing this, you can see this through where, Carrie is placed in the image. She is placed to one side of the middel so that the text can fit in to place. The text in this advert is very dominant but so is the image making this advert very eye catching to the reader. I like the contrast between the lighting with the dark in the background and the light in the foreground because it makes the image seem more powerfuk and makes it stand out even more. What I will consider from this advert whilat creating my own is the framing, I like how they have encorporated her body and how she looks like she is on a mission which really fits into the song that this is for. I would like to frame my work in a similar way, making sure that I capture everything the song stands for within the image I take.
This is an advert for Taylor Swift's Speak Now album release. I don't like the complexity that this advert has, I think it looks messy and could look a lot better if it was more simplistic. This image is not framed very well as it cuts the to of her head off. Her hair is covering her face which also doesn't make the image a very good one. I don't think half of the advert should be covered in text, I think it takes away from the image and makes it look less important. I like the typography within this advert though, I like the hand rendered look of it which I will take into consideration when designing my magazine advert. Apart from that I won't be taking much from this magazine advert.
