Magazine Poster Design Ideas

We have created three magazine banners in order to effectively promote our product.

In the first banner, we used http://www.photoshop.com/ to 'pop' the blue colour on this image which would grab the audience's attention. The neutral, even font would be suited to a musically credible magazine such as NME magazine.

We feel that the black and white image and uneven, anarchic font would make the second magazine banner more suited to a rock magazine like Kerrang! magazine.

In our third magazine banner, the font is bold and easy to read and the bright, eye-catching image has a light-hearted feel which would make this magazine poster suitable for a magazine with a younger target demographic, such as Smash Hits!.

We have created three different banners to suit three different music magazines, as we found from our research that pop rock is a mainstream genre and therefore want to sell and promote our artist by targeting as many audience members as possible.


This is an idea for our full page magazine poster. The bold, quirky, uneven font connotes a young, fresh image to the band which matches the natural, outside setting of the image. By 'popping' the blue in the image and using blue lettering at the start of words, this magazine poster has connotations of freedom and youth by creating a fresh, relaxed mood. Also, the use of a plain white background means the information and image are clear and eye-catching, effectively drawing our audience in.

We have included a release date and information on what is included on the album to persuade our audience to buy the product, and a myspace address to appeal to our teenage target audience.








From audience feedback, we decided that in order to create an effective combination of products, the font of the magazine poster should match that of the album cover.


















As part of our promotional package, we have created a Myspace page for the band.

We have included our band profile as well as a promotional banner and our new music video.

From audience feedback, we have decided to change the background of the Myspace to a graffiti background, so it further promotes our album and makes the Myspace more personal and professional.

I created this animated banner on http://www.blibs.com/. It is an effective way of promoting our album to the online audience as the flashing letters and bright colours grab the audience's attention. I decided to include 'Available now on iTunes' as this is how most people, in the online age, access music and therefore would be especially effective on our Myspace.
