DPS Analysis
The same as the Contents Analysis the DPS' are from Rolling Stone and Billboard, in many aspects this is similar analysis. I analysied the image (position and stance), the Language used and the typography and colouring of the text/background. I looked at how these things to show the artists in the article and how it is represented through them and how this represents the magazine, this is their main article and it shows what the magazine is aiming towards. For example the DPS in Billboard is about Adam Lambert and, as explained, he is sexualised in every spects from the Language, his stance/expression and the colours used while Rolling Stones is quite mature and serious because of the formal text, sepia colouring and and the boys are posed in thinking poses. This for me shows that everything from Layout, Language to colouring sets the tone for the whole article and the magazine so when i do my DPS from my Music Magazine i should take this into consideration with my Language making sure its appropriate, the Image is resembling the right message and the colouring is putting across the right message (e.g. bright if its happy, dark if its sad or mysterious etc).

What discoveries did you make about magazines themselves?
ReplyDelete- The DPS' is over to A4 sized pages it can either include a part of the article (which is continued on another page) and a large photo or the whole article and a Large image on the opposing page. Usually found in the centre of the magazine and includes and large photo of the main subject. The Writing is usually black and the title is at the top of the page and is quite large, bold and outstanding from the rest of the article. The Layout is well thought out and presented neatly and quite spaced.
How will this impact on the magazine that you are creating?
- I will present it one two pages, with An image on the write and the article on the opposing page. The Main title will stand out amongst the article and the colour scheme will also help this but will be gradual and not full on. The writings typography with be bold and I will use a simple font and put the article in columns to show different "sections" to the article.
