Magazine Advertisement: ShinCity


This is an advertisement for a concert that was going to be held for the various Kagerou project songs that were going to be performed by Jin. The title here uses a pun on one of the characters of the series called "Shintaro" and makes a reference to "Sin City", a popular and infamous comic book and movie. 

The advertisement show Shintaro holding a guitar in the middle of a bustling crowd. The background used here is much more detailed, especially the way the cloud is created. The character is done in a simplistic plain colour scheme, which resembles the other art styles the series has done. The way some figures are blurred are also interesting since it gives off a sense of depth and movement. 

Typography is sharp, edgy and interesting. The use of a cut within the "Summer 13'" makes the word bold and stands out, drawing the beholder's attention. All other information is done in a sci-fi like text, which resonates with the computer generated genre of the music. 

The white also stands out from the baby blue and also complements it as it is bold and still resemble the colour of a bright cloud. 

I will consider the use of interesting typography so that it matches my theme as well as give any information given some personality and form. The use of reversal is also unique since it creates a nice border as well as some interesting text.
