A2 Magazine Advert: Initial Ideas

After deconstructing the magazine advert, I have used them as a template to help create my own magazine advert. Here are my ideas:

This first idea has been inspired by the +44 magazine advert. I have planned pictures, the band title, album name, the CD cover, release date, song name, where it is available, the website, record label and a promotional free poster. Although this included absolutely everything, I am not sure on the use of photographs or the layout. I feel that added photos will take the focus away from the digipak.
The second design I like much more, it includes everything the previous one has to offer except a promotional gift or the website. The layout looks more conventional and is easier to understand. However, it is missing the website so if i developed this further, I would add it.

This is my favourite design inspired by the "Good Charlotte" advert. I really liked how they're advert was their CD cover with an extension to the design at the bottom. I have done this to my CD cover but added the song, album name, artist name, website, where it is available, the record label and when it is available. It includes everything that is expected from a magazine article and will be quite easy to achieve as I will have the advert already completed.
