I spent an entire day working on the magazine advert. I knew that I wouldn't need to dedicate as much time to this as I had the digipak as the artwork would be the same, the colour scheme and the text, therefore it would just be a case of bringing everything together.
I began by opening a Photoshop document and creating a canvas that's the size of a typical poster (using the crop tool). I then began importing the artwork from my desktop to the Photoshop document. I filled most of the bottom half before realising that I hadn't organised the layers and so had been filling in the wrong layer. I resolved this by creating a new document and organising the layers and proceeded to fill in the correct layer with colour. This then allowed me to move the layer up to create a highlighted effect where the colour hadn't filled in the lines. I followed this same technique throughout all of my work to add more depth to the designs. Where white highlights hadn't been created, I went in with a small sized paint brush tool and added the highlights by hand.
The design that I created included the title of the album, name of the artist, cover art that is similar to that used on the digipak; as well as more art to build the narrative and appeal for the target audience.
