1. Article Research
Lauryn Poutama

3. On the previous page is a scan of an article on a British
singer/song writer. This article is relevant as it contains
many features in the text that could inspire my article
with the artist I have booked for the double page
spread of my music magazine. However this article
does not have written questions followed by replies
from the artist which is the structure I had planned for
my DPS. The layout of the main image and text on the
page also looks appealing as all text appears structured
and positioned into precise sections on one page and
the image of the British artist covers the second page.

5. The scan of a music magazine article on the
previous page is another article layout my magazine
could follow. A quote from the article acting as the
title is the largest text spreading across both pages.
This is a feature of this article I would tend to avoid
as it leaves little room for the actual article. How
ever the 4 structured columns appear professional
and well put together. The main image of the British
artist again is positioned onto the whole right side
of the spread. although it does overlap to the left
page, which is another property of a DPS I could
influenced onto the media product I will produce.

7. The magazine I am producing is influenced by Q
magazine and Clash magazine. As it is a classic
British musical magazine with a younger
generation twist. It features only british
musicians with splashes of content from
international artists. Most of the featured
musicians are fresh up and coming artists based
in the UK and the content of the magazine is
based on the music and only the music.
