In order to prepare for creating a magazine advert for one of my ancillary tasks, I have made a practice one for a currently unreleased Drake album. I used a picture of Toronto found on Google Images which would obviously have copyright issues but for practice I figured it would be fine. I included the artist name, the album title and the fact that the album is now released and made the image the same dimensions as another advert I have analysed. I also added a parental advisory sign; I'm not sure if this is required on an advert so this is something I need to find out for creating my final product. One thing I wanted to include was the actual 'views from the six', so I found an image showing off famous buildings from the city. I also used a calming photo filter to try and match what I expect from the album thematically. Furthermore, Drake is extremely loyal to Toronto and two sports teams from the city use this colour so it gives an element of continuity. I also used the healing brush tool to try and add the number 6 to the buildings in their lights. Drake refers to Toronto as the six because of the area codes for the city so I thought it would make the image unique and bring it together. The idea for adding it to the building lights is something I found online with the image below and I wanted to try it myself. One thing I need to consider when creating my actual ancillary task is that the advert needs to be portrait and not landscape. However in this case I was just looking to practice my editing skills and the photo I liked was more suited to a horizontal image.
