How does my magazine advert work?

In order to evaluate the functionality of my magazine advert, I decided to create a mock-up magazine to see what it would look like.

I used Photoshop in order to complete this task; firstly I had to group the layers on my magazine advert to make it easier to move them all together rather than each element separately. I then had to find a simple image of an 'open magazine' on the internet in order to place my advert over the top of one of the pages. I then had to use the warp tool to manipulate the image to the correct size to make it look like it actually belongs in the chosen magazine. I had never used this tool on photoshop prior to this task, therefore, I had to spend a little time familiarising myself with how it functions and how to warp an image most effectively. 

These are the two products I created:
