DPS ProgressEmily Kennedy

basic layout

I have chosen to have my image on the left hand side for my DPS as this is a generic convention of many music magazines. I also liked the idea of having the page numbers

vertically and in the centre. Dazed magazine also do this, and I appreciated the subtlety as it strays from the conventions of most magazines.

experimenting with typeset

I felt that the bubble 04b font doesn't work on this image as it’s not clear to a

reader. The colours used

need to be bolder, making

it easier for the audience

to read.

The colours used on this

image are much clearer,

however I don't like the use of

two colours for both words.

The image is busy as it is as

it has lots of colours within

it. I think the colours should be simple and

clear.

experimenting with typeset

The bold red colour is

much clearer to read,

however i think its too bright and

isn't in keeping with

the metal genre of this

particular artist.

I like the use of the black 04b font with a red stroke.

It’s more befitting of the metal genre as

it’s darker and more sinister looking.

adding text and edited image

I decided to use this image as my

model was smirking. I edited

this image to reflect the “see no virtue” message. also making my

model monochrome

makes him stand out against the

colourful background

which I thought would be eye

catching to the audience.

I added a drop cap in the

same 04b font as the “see no

virtue” title. This was to

strengthen the house style

and show that the article

belongs together. I

also added my interview text

and decided to go with

insinuated questions,

instead of a Q&A layout

which was the easy option.

complete DPS

I have edited my DPS text so that it’s more free flowing and easy to read. My DPS is now complete.
