As one of my ancillary tasks I was challenged with the task to make a Billboard to showcase and market my magazine. This was a task which I was really excited to complete since it would allow me to showcase my design abilities. To create my design used photoshop since I thought that it would allow me to create a much more intricate and detailed design than if I were to use, for example, word or publisher.
My design conforms to the typical codes and conventions of other billboards I have seen for magazines in my research and in particular I based my billboard on the design of a billboard for The Resident London magazine (a similar Regional Magazine).
Here is my initial design of my Billboard:
This billboard effectively shows what my magazine is all about by carrying through the design of my magazine and showing a blurred sleek peek into what will be inside the magazine. Furthermore, you can see that the winter theme has been clearly carried through in order to show a clear link to the season, something prevalent in other designs.
In order to get an idea of what it may look like in the 'real world' I decided to put it on an underground billboard found at a train station. This is the type of place i'd imagine my magazine would be marketed as it is mainly targeted towards young commuters and by advertising here it would grab their attention and hopefully lead to people picking it up. By placing it here, it would help my magazine to get recognised.
