Screen Shots

Double Page Spread

I chose to use this photograph as it allowed

me space with a clear background to place the text. I also liked how on

one half of the photograph (the model) was on one

side of the DPS.

I wanted the Drop Capital to be large, as from my

research on DPS, I thought that this style was most

fitted to my genre as I was very common in

alternative magazines that I researched.

When I placed the text over the drop caps I

noticed that you couldn't read the writing.

I tried to move the text lower so less was covered

by the drop capital. I moved the drops cap

closer to the gutter to try and resolve this problem.

I decided to change the colour of the drops cap

because it wasn't working with it being black. I chose to make the colour of the drops cap the same colour

as the models dress to combine the photo and

text together.

I moved the text up again. The only problem is that I feel that the page looks

plain. Especially above the drops cap.

I added more text and feel as if the page still looks plain. I am going to see

what it looks like as I write more.

I added the title to get an impression of what it

would look like when it is finished. I think that it is

too tight above the model, so I am going to move it to the other side of the page.

I slanted the title to get rid of spare space above the drops cap. I have also lowered down the second column to leave room for the hanging indent.

I have moved the first column further up so it covers more of the drops cap. I have also added in the hanging indent.

This makes the page look more full with text and more professional. I

believe that this fits into the the genre of my magazine from the research that

I have conducted beforehand.

I have added the rest of the text and a pull quote. This gives the dps a more

professional look. This is a conventional factor of dps’ and I have

noticed that all of the articles in alternative genre magazines that I have researched have pull quotes

within the dps.

I have added another pull quote on the left-hand page.

This helps merge the left hand side with the write hand side and gives the left page more

detail, rather than just having a photograph.

The pull quote was to close to the edge, so I have moved it

within the red lines on InDesign. Otherwise, it

wouldn't print.

I have moved the pull quote on the left-hand page to the right

corner of that page. This is because there is more room

there as on the right corner it was quite a tight fit and was

very close to covering the model.

I have decided to keep the pull quote on the right corner of the left-hand page. This is because this spreads out the text more, otherwise all the text would be more on the right-hand side of

the dps. In the corner I have added a slug.

This is my final DPS. However, I want to edit the slug as I don't believe it blends well with the colour scheme of the dps and the date stands out too much. I cant at the moment as I don't have access to InDesign. I will complete my dps t college.
