This is Cloud 9 productions completed Magazine advert for the Chase & Status album. The original photo is of the speakers and lighting system, as seen at the party/rave scene in our music video. We turned on the strobe lights and standard lighting system, and took several photos utilising the different coloured lights at our disposal to experiment with which combination looked best. In the end we chose this image not only because of the colour combination, which again provides an attractive contrast similar to that in our back cover, but because of the angles at the which the lights are pointed when the photo was taken. We thought when choosing between the images that this appeared the most suitable for our advert, because of the symmetrical pattern of the white lights at the bottom and then the way that the green strobe at the top goes off an individual angle. On the speakers at the front we have embedded the image of our front CD cover onto the grill of the speaker, we chose to do this as it gives the image a unique effect that we have not seen prior to this, giving the magazine advert a unique, subtle and interesting effect. Other images and writing have been added to bring an authenticity to the piece. As per magazine advert conventional there is a one word review and a star rating. There is also the logo of a magazine likely to advertise the Chase & Status Album such as NME. On the bottom of the advert is the release date of the album and the link to the bands website, this is a must have feature into today internet dependent world, as interactivity across all mediums of advertisement is key to marketing the band successfully.
