This is my recreation of a regional Crack magazine. As you can see I have learned that regional magazines are very image heavy and have a minimal theme. They have very little information on the front and their fonts are generally small and to the point. I particularly liked the minimal and professional look with the direct mode of address, something I noticed was prominent in a lot of magazines, particularly regional ones.
These are my recreations of a billboard from Prada's eye wear collection. I enjoy recreating magazines and billboards although in this case it was particularly difficult to find coloured images to match the billboard. This task gave me an insight into how simple and minimal billboards appear to be. They have very little text so that passers by have enough time to interact with them and read all of their information. I realised the masthead was the biggest, this makes it stand out and the brand generally more recognisable.
Next time to ensure I achieved the best possibly products I would ensure I was fully prepared and had a thorough plan of action for the creation of a product. I feel if I was to create a billboard I would possibly implement more information onto this as I feel it is important for an audience to understand the point of an advertisement or to determine what it is for. For example, with the advert above, as minimal as it is, it may of served it positively to have social media or website links attached. This would of allowed a potential viewer to find their product better, a feature I intend to have in my own product.
