Final Magazine Advert

My final magazine advert for Dysphoria's Ep 'Static', conforms to most of the conventions of magazine adverts, for example:

• The font I used is big and bold throughout, and I also used the same font as we used in the opening titles of the music video and that I used on my digipak, to create a band brand and identity.
• The colour scheme used throughout is dark colours, mainly black and white, which conforms to the indie/rock genre, but also keeps synergy between the music video for 'Static', the digipak and finally the magazine cover.
• I used a QR code and an iTunes symbol in the bottom left and right corners as from my research of magazine adverts, a symbol of some kind is almost always found.
• I also included lots of information on the magazine cover, for example, the date the album will be released and how it is available for purchase (by CD/download). However, I did not include the band's website on the magazine advert which is a typical convention, so if I were to make it again I would include this.
• I placed a 4 star rating of an existing indie/rock magazine, to attract the target audience towards the album.
