The document discusses the reasons for choosing a particular image to accompany a DPS interview with an indie pop artist. The image shows the artist sitting down with her guitar, smiling and looking relaxed. This was chosen because it conveys that she is shy but comfortable, engaged with her guitar as her "best friend", and her warm smile would draw readers in to learn more about her through the interview. Visual cues like her expression, guitar, and bracelets help situate her within the indie pop genre.

1. DPS IMAGE
DECISIONS

2. Her facial
expression shows
that she is timid and
quite shy which is a
convention of an
indie pop artist.
The guitar is a
massive connotation
of the indie pop
genre which will
attract more people
into reading the DPS
interview.
I decided to put this
image down as my
DPS image choice as
there is a clear angle
of gaze and she is
holding her guitar in
the image.
The fact that she is sitting
down makes her look a
lot more comfortable
which readers will feel
engaged with the
interview.

3. Because my model is
smiling she looks
more relaxed and an
audience will be
drawn to her
interview and they
will want to read
more.
She looks more relaxed
holding onto the
guitar, so it looks like
her guitar is her ‘best
friend’ and she can do
nothing without it.
The fact that she is
smiling makes people
a lot more drawn to
read the double page
spread interview
because the smile is
welcoming and warm.
The bracelets she is
wearing is a
convention of the
indie pop genre and
this is something an
audience will notice
as soon as they read
the interview.
