DPS ANALYSIS

A plain white background used to make the photo(even the faded parts) and the text stands out on the page because the black text contrasts against the white background.The photo has been edited so that the main artist in the band stands out and the other three have been faded into the back ground. The title also follows the house style colours of the costume which runs throughout the DPS. Most of the text is black on white although quotes have more emphasis. The image has the most emphasis as this is what the audience are most attracted to.

DPS LAYOUTS

Front Cover

This is my final front cover, the image is very dominating as it is a close up and is making eye contact, it also fits in with the target audience for the same age. The house style is very bright and loud fitting with the connotations with the masthead LOUD. There is emphasis of the larger font and different colours on the main headline making it stand out. On the sub headlines the names of the artists are more important so therefore they are emphasised rather than what's associated with them.
