Magazine Advert Draft

I have been doing a lot of drafts of different advert designs to use, however I felt this design was my strongest one so I turned it into a digital mock up photo of what it could look like. I think this original picture with the plain background can create a great effect with the bright features on him. Also because the image is quite unusual it draws in potential fans. 

These picture below were my original drafts that I did not have a lot of belief in. However they included the correct material, as in content. Like name, date, single. 

I decided through these drafts that I needed chunky text that would be subtle but stand out against the photo in the background. I have gone through different texts that I would use and my digital graft is the closest reality to it at the moment,
