Creating my album magazine advert

This is the plan for my album advert. The background is a 

faded map and there is a picture of Jono overlapping this which I have cut out using photoshop. In order to construct this advert I first of all needed to open the map and lower the opacity so that the image became a lot lighter and softer in colour; I felt that this was necessary because it made the background for my advert more easy on the eye and appealing as the colours weren't harsh.

This is what the map looked like after I had done this...

I then wanted to cut around Jonny's body so that the image of him could overlap the map and still show a large proportion of the map. In order to do this I used the quick select tool on photoshop and selected the space which I wanted to cut out of the picture. I was important to have unlocked the layer so that the chosen space was deleted completely rather than just turned white. I have recorded how I did this using QuickTime Player...

Following this I downloaded some fonts from dafont.com and wrote information about the album, such as the artist name, the album name, album release date, star rating from music magazines, a website address for the artist, the See Tickets web address and a his twitter @ so that our target audience could easily access information about Jono, buy tickets and music and watch music videos.
