This is the analysis of the DPS.

1. Double Page Spread Analysis
Zak Hewes

3. Bonafide
Images:
We see this individual wearing a black top on a black background
now this works really we because the way that the top and the
background compliments each other really makes this sort of
underground but professional look. The photo has been taken
from a low angle which makes the subject much larger to the
user and really shows off he credibility in the music industry.
Layout:
The way that this magazine is laid out is a very clean and simple
look, all the text has been divided with white lines that look
fantastic on the think black background. This makes it much
easier to go through the text and be able to understand what
they are going on about. They have really thought about how the
user will navigate the space and read the information.

4. House Style:
Now with Bonafide we see the house style of the heading with
the category of the page and the website address shows up on
every page sort of as a all around area where you can tell what
you are reading. This really pushes that continues house style
that we can see in the whole of this double page spread. Also
things like the clean way that the text is being divided with those
white line runs with the same heading technique that we see on
all of the pages.
Conclude:
Bonafide really likes to play convention because of the way they
layout the magazine, it really make the reading experience a lot
different to any other magazine because of the way it utilises all
the information that is being displayed on the page. Overall we
see that although it challenges convention it almost makes its
own.

6. Louder Than War
Images:
The images of this double page spread is a old picture of the
band swans, I really like the way that some DPS uses old photos
of the bands because it can show the age of who they are. This
can create and connection to the person reading depending on
the knowledge of the band they are seeing. The photo is
obviously candid but this make it much more revealing to use
because it shows this band true form and doesn’t hides us.
Layout:
The layout of the DPS is really quite simple, we see they have use
colours that compliment the black and white picture and all the
text has been boxed in by a white box that travels around the
page. They have highlighted essential information with grey
borders which draw your eye to it much more.

7. House Style:
Throughout that magazine you do see a lot of different styles
popping up so the house style can never be as clear as you want
it to be. But the thing that is most noticeable about the house
style is the way that they use small headers in the top left hand
corner of the page this just give a simple reminder of where you
are in the magazine, this does come up regularly in the piece.
That is why although the house style isn't very clear it is still clear
what they are trying to do.
Conclude:
This magazine really follows the convention of everyday
magazine but it also has its own minimalist twists that we like to
see in the normal magazine we pick up. That could be down to
the way the running head is very clear and bold to the reader
and other things like the way they use a large drop cap these
feature are still here but L.T.W still puts its own twist on the way
they do it.

9. Sound on Sound
Images:
Now in this page we do see a lot more images from the other
ones we have analysed previously but in the main image we see
the three individuals sitting in front of there work station. The
phot isn't really that fancy but by looking in and seeing that,
what S.O.S is trying to do is strip back all the things you hear
about the celebrity and then talk about how they do it not who
they are.
Layout:
This layout is probably the most conventional out of all the
magazine we have looked at, we see a large running head and all
the information is plotted around the page. But what I will say is
the way that they try to not waist any white space really makes
the page seem full and you appreciate the about of information
and effort we see.

10. House Style:
The way that Sound on Sound make sure that their house style is
shown throughout their magazine is using large heading over the
top of the page, this shows the S.O.S logo and the category of the
article you are reading. This is a very simple but effective way of
running the house style through the mag. Also they use the same
information on the bottom of the page which contains the
website address and the page number and all of these feature
use the same fonts and colour throughout the whole piece
Conclude:
Overall Sound on Sound is really good at making that connection
the convention of magazines, we see this because of the way
they layout the page and the picture that are contained inside it,
this makes the whole experience of the magazine but easier for
the read because if that person has picked up a mag before they
will recognise the way that it is run and how the user will use it.
