Advert Draft

Here is my first attempt at an advert in my magazine. However, this is not an original image and so I will have to try and replicate the image as best as possible. I decided to create an advert for one of the four companies that I made logos for so that it ties in with my website, I chose to use my floral boutique Fleur Norman for this advert. I tried to stick to my flat plan as best as possible but for this particular advert I feel it looked better to have the text on the opposite side to what I said on my flat plan as it worked better with the image this way. I used the font 'Caviar Dreams' from dafont.com for the essential information on my advert. I chose to include the web address, address and telephone number for my essential information. I am not entirely sure whether I like the composition of the essential information for this advert and this is something that I will reflect upon when I edit and improve my advert.

In this lesson, I will be beginning to create my first draft of my advert.

Article Draft

Here is my first completed draft of my article page. I am currently unsure whether I like the dominant image and the slight blue tint to the grayscale I have used, despite it fitting into the theme and matching the masthead of Something Blue. In the top left hand corner I have my masthead so that it is clear that this article belongs to the same magazine as the contents page and the front cover. In the bottom left corner of the page I have my page number and web address, however I think it my be slightly too big for the page. For the article title I have used the font 'Scriptina' from dafont.com as this is the same font I have used on my front cover for the main sell line so there is a clear theme running throughout the magazine. The rest of the text used in this page is either 'Adam' or 'Caviar Dreams', both from dafont.com, as again these are the two main fonts I have used in my front cover and contents page. I have given the intro a drop cap and have used the font 'Adam' so that there is a clear difference between the intro and the rest of the article. I am not entirely convinced on the spacing, sizing and composition of the contents of this page and this is something that I will reconsider in my next draft .

Billboard Draft

In this lesson, I have used the 'replace colour' tool to change the colour of the flowers from pink to blue in order for it to match the colour scheme of the magazine and the masthead 'Something Blue'. To do this I had to make the flowers a separate layer from the stems of the flowers otherwise the stems would have turned blue as well and ruined the effect - I did this by using the magic wand tool to select all the flowers. As well as this, I have added in the streamline of the magazine 'The North East No.1 Real Wedding Magazine'.

Article Rationale

Website Rationale

Advert Rationale

Photography Logo

Here is my photography logo. I used the font 'Caviar Dreams' for 'wedding photography' and the font 'October Moon' for 'Olivia Mulligan'.

Boutique Logo

Here is the logo for a bridal boutique that I have designed. I used the font 'Weddings' from dafont.com for the silhouette of the couple and I used the font 'Vampire Calligraphy' from dafont.com for the text and the heart.

Cake Company Logo

Here is my logo for a wedding cake company. I have used the font 'Wedding' for the cake on top of the logo from dafont.com, Shorelines Script for 'Clara's Cakes' from dafont.com and 'Adam' for 'Sunderland Cakery' from dafont.com. I have kept the logo quite simple so that it will not take away from the rest of the magazine and website.

Company Logo Inspirations

Here I have collated some existing company logos for florists, photographers, caterers and bridal boutiques so that I can attempt to create my own so that they can appear in my magazine and website, I may even use one of the logos for my advert that will appear in my magazine. I will not make the logos too complicated as I do not want them to take away from the rest of the magazine.

7th November 2017

Start

In this lesson, I will be creating logos for a photographer, bridal boutique and catering company to add them to my magazine and website to make it look more professional.

End

Billboard Rationale

Florist Logo

Here I have created a simple logo for a florist that I can include in my magazine and website as a partner company to my magazine. I decided not to make the logo too complicated as it will only be small in my final products. I attempted to copy some of the already existing florist logos. I decided to name the company Fleur Norman as Fleur means flower and Norman means of the North.
