Final Print Advert.

I began by planning out my ideas from looking at print advertisments from the maccabees and bloc party. I began by creating a black background as this was simplistic and from the print adverts that i had researched into this was a popular style. I used a simple white font in order to keep the layout simple. I initially wanted to use the doll photograph again, but instead using one of the over exposed photographs as i thought i looked interesting. However, i thought that this did not fit in well with the text as it was simplistic therefore would take away from the NME genres style. I also thought that the doll photography worked well on the Digipak as i had the toy block font to link with the idea of play and being controlled. I did not want to do this again, however i still wanted to link the print advert to the music video visually. So i decided to take a screen grab of the opening scene. This image is striking and grabs the viewers eye. I tried to take photographs of this opening scene, however i found that the screen grab looked more effective as i was unable to create a circle effect around the middle within photoshop. I thought that this worked well as it linked well to the video, genre and the overall look on the print advert looked simple yet effective as there was a clear colour scheme that is similar to one that i researched into within NME.
