5. The layout which I chose to use for my DPS was layout
number 2. I decided to use this layout because of other
double page spreads that I had researched into. There
were a number of DPS that I researched into they all
influenced my DPS in some way. For example the DPS on
the right influenced me to use columns for my article. This
DPS also influenced me to use one large image with the
rest of the page using smaller images. This DPS also
furthered my reasoning for using black and white, this
double page spread proves that these colours can work.
10. The poster layout which I chose to use was the
first layout. Added to this layout is a number of
words in the background. These words are
thoughts and emotions that the student may
be feeling Having the image large and in the
middle of the page is effective. This is effective
because of the angle that the photo was taken
from and the model is leaning forward.
From researching other magazine poster
advertisements I was able to see what
conventions are followed and the basics of a
poster.
From these other posters I decided to keep the
idea of having the main image in the centre of
the poster, on the other hand I challenged this
poster because I decided to put the title of the
documentary at the top of the page. I done this
because I thought that it helped focus the
attention on the image.
