DPS Draft

This is the draft of my DPS. I decided to go for a simple layout and I have not given my self much space for information. I didn't edit this image but when I do my image for the final magazine I will edit it. I gave this DPS  a green background because of the green in the image. I again decided to stay with 3 colours as the colour scheme; with one brighter and bolder, which is the green. I am happy with the layout; I purposely made the margin line diagonal because I felt that if I left it straight it may look 'boring'.


I have the same font as the font page; I chose this because it is bold and stands out but it is also easy to read, which is very important. I am happy with the draft overall and it has given me some ideas on what I will use for my final magazine. It has also shown me what I should not add into the magazine.

Here is an example of a Double page spread, this one is from NME. The similarities from these are the layout. both of the images are on the left and cover half of the page. I cannot comment on the image as it is not my own and the quality of it, is not down to me. A difference of the Double page spread is the font. the one below has a bold and detailed masthead which is what the reader concentrates on. the good thing about the magazine is that they have made the mast head look interesting by having a mixture of two different fonts. These two DPS I feel are personally to similar and I am not able to judge my draft properly.


 Here are some other examples of Double Page Spreads (DPS) from NME.

The layout of the writing for these magazines are different from the other two because they have made the article more interesting by adding more pictures, which will always intrigue the reader. The font is a mixture of different fonts. All of the different fonts have a different effect on the text. I want to use a mixture of different text because it can make other words stand out more than others. The title is in a large but plain font; I would want my text like this because their is no confusion for the reader. The explanation about the group is under the massive quote. This is good because it is there for the readers that are interested and it doesn't bore the readers who may not be interested. This specific article is a lot bigger than the others because it is the main story of the magazine; it is mainly what draws the reader it; that is why it has to be eye capturing and interesting.Te way this article has been set out is not what I am going to want for my magazine but it has given me some good ideas for my DPS.
