Final Magazine Advert

                                       Here is  the design that Ellie created.We decided to cover the artists face with a VHS tape represents the theme of self identity, which is being concealed due to the judgemental and harsh nature of society's opinion. The lyrics influenced this design as they suggest that the young female is in a depressed state which leads to her dilemma about whether to stay or leave. We didn't want to present her as sexualised as we felt that it would take away the main concept of the song and we would rather our target audience focus on the pain and suffering that she is experiencing.

We decided to opt for a simple colour scheme for our CD cover however decided to change the colours of our magazine advert slightly as we wanted something different and unique. We changed the colours to black and white and then inverted the colours to give off a ghostly vibe to represent her state of mind as well as to show a binary opposite between the music video and digipack as we included many colourful locations to contrast against the lyrics in our video. By making both products similar in style it will help to promote our album as it will be very recognisable to our audiences due to the simplicity of the cover which has a deeper meaning.

Our designs subverts the codes and conventions of a pop genre as normally a brightly coloured, or sexualised image is produced to portray an unforgettable image of the artist however, we believe that our design will stand out more to audiences and fulfil their expectations as our design doesn't give too much away leaving them intrigued.
