Creating the magazine advert was a reasonably lengthy process; I wanted it to look as realistic as possible and include all of the details that a typical magazine advertisement for an album would have. I feel that I have achieved this aim, as the advert is complete with the artist/album title, artwork taken from the album design itself, a release time, reviews, a listing of some of the songs featured, availability of the album, tour dates for the band, and links to the band's website + social networking pages as well as the website of the label. I feel that the reviews especially help to sell the album; they are clearly very positive, even the four star reviews which reads "Severe whiplash guaranteed". Although whiplash is diagnosed from neck injuries, this is viewed in a positive light, as the tradition of fans is to bang their head to the rhythm of heavy metal music. Severe headbanging can indeed lead to whiplash, and this has been acknowledged by the heavy metal community; the Metallica song "Whiplash" for example, is about headbanging.
