Another ancillary task was to create a magazine advertisement which I also chose to do. For this I used an image I had taken for my video and edited it so it was suitable to be advertised in a magazine. First I put the image in black and white and also put a paint strokes filter over it, this is very similar to the digipak album I created as I wanted all of my ancillary tasks to look consistent. I chose to put these effects on as it made Teagan look chilling and creepy as she is in parts of the video and on the album cover. The magazine image is very similar to the front cover of the album, this again is so that the bands promotions look consistent and the audience knows from the image that its that particular band. I then added on the text of the band and album names, using the fonts from dafonts.com. This again was so that all of my ancillary tasks and the bands merchandise was consistent throughout. Further on I added on two reviews which I got off metacritic.com, one from Q magazine and the other from musicOMH.com. I thought that putting reviews on my magazine advertisement would be very effective for the reader as they can see what professionals thought of the album, something that might make the want to buy it more. Finally I added on my ancillary website URL that I made, the reason for this was to mazimise the potential audience that would see the promotion, visit the website and then buy the album.
