2. • This DPS features Florence and The Machine; this is
made clear on the left hand page where an image is
shown as the whole page with the heading ‘Florence
and The Machine’ placed in the bottom left hand
corner, infront of the image, in a bold, black text to
stand out against the background.
• Although the heading is placed infront of the image it
doesn’t overlap on to Florence. This image crosses over
to the right hand page slightly, but the interview takes
up most of the page with a white background.
• The interview is laid out in three columns with a quote
breaking up two of the columns in the middle of the
page.
• The quote is written in a bold, black
font in a bigger size then the columns,
the line underneath the quote is
written in a light purple to stand out
and add colour to the page.
• At the top of the page, to the left hand
side, there is small description given in
a different font to the one used on the
interview. The first letter of the
interview is displayed in a slightly
bigger size with a purple background
and a white font.
3. • This magazine’s DPS shows a theme of the colours of the image. The image takes
up the whole left hand page with an effect of the left hand side in red and the
other in a light blue colour.
• In the bottom right hand corner there is a quote written in red, to contrast the
light blue background, infront of the image.
• On the right hand page there is a small heading at the top of the page, in the
centre, in black. With a black, horizontal line on either side of it. Underneath it
there is a long story written in two columns that take up the whole page.
• At the start of each section of the story the first letter is written in a bolder font
than the rest of the story, this is to highlight the start of the section.
• In the centre of the page there is a ‘J’ written in red behind the story, this is to
relate to his name ‘Jay’.
4. • This double Page spread is taken from KERRANG! Magazine and has no distinct concept
although it contains quite a personal, chatty interview.
• This is a result from the question and answer format, as it means instead of only revealing
certain parts of their thoughts to the journalist, the interviewee is almost forced into
answering the questions they are presented with.
• The language used itself in the introductory paragraph is considerably colloquial but also
descriptive, when introducing the man, phrases like ‘old school entertainer who cuts quite a
dashing figure’.
• The grey overall background colour gives the magazine a simplistic feel that goes with the
colour scheme of grey, black white and pink.
• The vibrant pink text highlight the important information that needs to stand out and the
larger text that is the most visible is what the reader will see first.
• The medium close-up image of the celebrity on the left takes up the whole page and makes it
instantly clear that he is the front main man featuring in the interview/ article.
