the style of an EDM magazine ad is mainly through our
font and text display. This font is one representative of the EDM genre, however, we have developed this feature by increasing the size of the letters for the title of the track but kept the words before smaller. Not only this, but all letters are kept lowercase, making the letters appear more spaced out. Often, text is kept large and capitalised so this is an aspect we have challenged also. Another development is the fact that we chose to put a block colour in the mirror only rather than across the whole poster as EDM posters often do.
Our Magazine ad Example:
We challenged the typical EDM magazine ad by keeping
ours rather simplistic. Often, EDM magazine ad’s fill the whole frame with colour and other (occasionally random) symbols or shapes. We centred our image on a white background so that a border was created. The image used is also one that can be related to what can be seen in the music video which isn’t something that is commonly done on an EDM poster. The text is also kept black which goes against ordinary EDM texts that are often bold and coloured, seen in the example poster on the right.
