My second powerpoint of the DPS analysis is also from NME magazine. I chose this particular DPS as (like the first powerpoint), i was personally attracted to the article being the age of a target audience for this article. I also liked the layout which i can use inspiration from for my own DPS.
The majority of the DPS is filled images. This attracts a young age group audience as more visual context and less text is what draws in the younger age groups. I would say that this article is most likely aimed at readers aged between 16-20 year olds as the bands and celebrities featured are fan based of people at a young age and use of language in the main body text has a casual, conversationla, some colloquial and slightly crude tone.
The right page of the DPS is where all the main text is. However there is also a side bar with an image and also other images placed around the body text. This double page spread has used various techniques to draw in the target audience by making every part of the DPS look eye catching and interesting to look at. The images placed around the article makes the text more attractive to look at which will draw in the audience to reading. This is a key feature used in almost every article in NME as it has a young target audience. The images and colour there is, the more attractive it looks visually giving a higher chance that the audience will be drawn in to read the article.
The main colour theme of this DPS is also black, white, and red. This is a constant theme throughout the magazine as the front cover and main logo of 'NME' uses these colours. these colours are also reflected off the images through the clothing of the artists which gives a visually pleasing balance to the DPS.

I have chosen to analyse this particular article from NME as it personally attracted me as a reader and i wanted to use influence when creating my own DPS. The DPS is filled with the majority of images. This attracts a young audience as more visual context and less text is what draws in the younger age groups. I would say that this article is most likely aimed at readers aged between 16-18 year olds as the bands and celebrities featured are fan based of people at a young age. For example, the skins cast is featured and it is a programme featuring 16-18 year olds and also watched by this age group.On the left page (top right) there is also an image of the celebrity Noel Fieldings from the mightly boosh literlally jumping into a croen of teenagers which also indicates the article being aimed at this age group.
The right page of the DPS is where all the main text is. However there is also a side bar with small images for each bit of information which makes the text stand out more and also attractive to look at. Clearly this double page spread has used every technique to draw in the target audience by making every part of the DPS look eye catching and interesting to look at.
The main colour theme of this DPS would be black, whit, and red. This is a constant theme throughout the magazine as the front cover and main logo of 'NME' uses these colours.
The text in the magazine has a very casual tone using some colloquial words and even swear words which appeals to a young audience. it also has some direct languige which can draw in readers and make them feel personal and exclusive. I would like to take inspiration from this DPS onto my own as i am attracted to the idea of having a casual tone to my text as this attracts my target audience of readers ages between 16-20.

DPS

here is my double page spread, i have stuck to my plan and made it in keeping with the theme of my magazine. U have tried to incorporate as many ideas as i can and to make the page look proffesional.

DPS photo's

Here re my two photo's that i will use in my DPS for my music magazine fusic. I have tried to stick to my plan as much as possible using the same poses planned and taking the photo's outside at day time in a park as these features are what gave my photo's good colour quality and lighting. i did not photoshop my images as there were no needs to make any major changes and I was also planning on keeping the images un edited as i wanted a relaxed, natural image for my magazine.

DPS plan/mock up

I have made a simple layout for my DPS using inspiratiom from the two DPS powerpoints that i have analysed. I chose to use two images< one page taken up by a whole image. I chose to do this as my magazine is aimed at a young audience and so more visual context and minimal text is the most appropriate. I decided to use an interview for my main body text as i found through my questionnaire that most people took interest in reading interviews rather than reviews or articles.

photoshoot plan

Here is my photoshoot plan, i have sketched my two photo's that i would like to use in my DPS. I have tried to keep to my genre of music by using the same jacket that i used on my front cover.

Front cover

Here is the final draft for my music magazine front cover. I have used the samemodel as my school magazine and have used influence from my magazine cover analysis and my queationnaire. I have kept the importance of making the influence of music genre apparent and the cover being releavant to the music genre i selected for my magazine; vintage rock.
I have also tried to keep to my front cover plan as much as possible, only making necessary changes.
