Advertisment.

In order to make are artist successful I needed to make an advert that would be in a magazine!

This advertisement would cost less as it would only fill up half a page. Many adverts now are only half a page as prices for adverts in mags are massively expensive.

When making the practice album artwork i realised that i wanted to make my artist patriotic. I therefore used a great Britain flag to show this and instead of showing a lot of white i put the album artwork in each box so people would know what the album looked like. At first i didn't use show any white and just had the red cross however i soon realised that it then didn't look like the St George's flag. I therefore put a bit on each. So the red and white of the flag mixed better together i added a diffuse to the st george flag layer. like this:

I also thought that if the colour of the red was quite dark and mysterious then we should make the album a bit darker than what it actually is like. I used a special tool for this as well called vignette.

2 ways they use the internet and discuss

Bruno Mars uses Twitter in order to communicate with has fans. Twitter is a social networking site in which people “tweet” what they are doing, how they are feeling etc. This therefore gives Bruno Mars fans an almost friendly connection with the Artist and makes them that they can understand and relate to his life. If you relate to someone you are more likely to relate to their music. Also if Bruno Mar regularly updates his twitter then people will see his name and then they remember him and think of his songs which will lead to him getting more fans, which will then lead to more people going to buy and see Bruno Mars and a bigger profit overall.

Myspace is another social networking site however is quite different from twitter. On Myspace you can upload songs onto your page. This will then allow people to hear your songs for free. Millions of people log on to Myspace therefore by doing this Bruno Mars is showing his music to a Mass Audience. If people have heard of Bruno Mars but are not sure whether they like him or not they can go onto Myspace listen to some extract’s or some songs and then decide whether they would like to invest in his album or like to watch him live.
