Product Research - Magazine Ad (Poster)

To advertise and distribute my music video I will be also creating a magazines poster to promote my product. Having looked at a range of magazines to determine where I will distribute and who the magazine appeals to, I have narrowed it down to two possible magazines to advertise in.


One of the magazines I will advertising the poster in is NME Magazine.
NME is one of the most popular magazines in the United Kingdom as well as the best-selling British magazines.
Being a popular music magazine, essential to the rock genre, it would be perfect to advertise to my target audience.
Another reason for advertising in NME is because the magazine is circulated mainly in Europe , which is a huge market, expanding the audience. NME also have an online magazine which brings you the latest music news and music videos.







For my American and Canadian audience, advertising in Alternative Press magazine would be the perfect option.
This issue of Alternative Press, which is in a poster form, has made me think of ideas of how to create and position certain features, when it comes to producing my poster. Things like the layout and size of the font, making it stand out and finally the image I would use and how it relates to my product.








As my video is predominantly about skateboarding, I will working around that idea, plus adding a bit more about how the skaters will be represented.
