I created a magazine advert for my music video - this would be featured in most popular magazines, (so will be in A4 format) such as; NME's magazine, Country Living, Hello! and Vanity Fair.

I used conventional tropes of professional magazine adverts such as showing positive reviews, including the production company name, the single and DVD cover image, the date of release 'May 2017', the artist and media format, and where it will be released - 'iTunes, DVD, and YouTube'.

The colours I used are calming, the pastel pink tinted red-brown  complements the tea-stained colour of the Polaroid frames, and contrasts with the bright colours of the photographs in the main Polaroid picture. The main Polaroid is a field of sunflowers with the sun shining down - this is symbolic because throughout the music video a sunflower represents the love that the couple feel for each other. The font used suits the piece because - Garamond, which I used for the main writing, looks a bit like a vintage typewriter text, Bradley Hand ITC, which I used for 'Home', looks like hand writing on the Polaroid, and Monotype Corsiva, which I used for 'May 2017', is dainty reflecting the melody of the song. The black text and black stars also contrast well with the background of the advert.

The main image of the advertisement connotes memories and a sense of belonging as they are old images of something seemingly important, such as a home, as they seem to have been kept for so long; they provoke nostalgia and love.
