Choice of software for the magazine advertisement.

For the magazine advertisement, I thought it would be suitable to use Microsoft Publisher.
I chose this program as it allows the following features to be included:

The tabs at the top of the page on Publisher allow items to be inserted onto the page, which is necessary for a magazine advertisement when pictures and photos need to be included, as well as items of text or auto shapes - like here on the Killers Digipak advertisement they use various images and a varied colour scheme with items of text, all as design features for the digipak advert:

Publisher is also the most suitable program to use as I am familiar with it's features and it allows me to precisely align the information on the page, whereas on Microsoft Word, if one item is moved, the others move too.
