UPDATE'S TOO DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

This was my first change. I blurred out the image and place the text over the image, so it looked like a water mark, however i didn't like the appearance as it looks unstructured and messy creating a non professional DPS.  I found that the social media sites also made my page tacky and is not a traditional theme on DPS in music magazines. 

Due to my first outcome, I decided to remove the social media account logos and make the page really simple. I placed the text on the clothing of my models, so it didn't conflict with the beauty of the photo of the artists.  I still kept the QR code as this was an easier way of getting the consumers to go onto the website and view the official interview recording. 

However I did like the signatures that i had on the photo as shown in my previous posts (as shown bellow):

So I will try and find a way of placing this in my DPS as I think it's a nice touch.

DPS - Update

Bellow are two new ideas i have come up with, for the DPS.  I am not sure i like either of the designs. 

I am finding it hard to find a good layout and text format for the DPS. As I keep creating my own ideas of how i want my DPS to look rather that looking at the traditional features of DPS's.  

I do like the design bellow, with a blurred background photo. However I think its too dark so the page looks over whelmed. Also the quote text is not readable so causes isn't the best idea.

DPS - Change of idea

I liked the idea of the DPS having a poster style picture that the reader could then keep. However my teacher disagreed with me and said no to my creative idea. Due to traditional magazines not having an image on the side.

Changes i will have to make:

• Change the position of the image. 
• Change the position  of the text on the page. As the image won't take up the full page. 
• May need another image to fill the page or i may need to conduct an additional interview to fill up the space. 
• If i was to take another photo, i may take a wedding photo of Ryan and his wife. To show that they're getting married (a wedding Photo-shoot that most celebs do before their wedding). 

Changes to the - DPS

• I added signatures from the artist themselves, for the consumers. This may make the lifecycle of the magazine longer, as the consumer is more likely to keep the magazine for the signatures from the artists. 
• I made the quote from the article bolder and bigger. So it is bold and visible to be seen. 

Updates - DPS

• I added a quote to draw the readers in to the magazine. However i reckon that the quote needs to be bigger. So it stands out more, compared to the other text. 

DPS - changes

• I adjusted the position of where the QR code and social media accounts are. So that they didn't take up much space in the magazine.  I also added another picture, just because i thought it may look better. 

• I was still unsure of the changes above. So i changed it again, minus the extra photo. As i didn't like the way it looked completely. 

Double Page Spread - Update

• I changed the  columns  so that there was three rather than 2. I found this aloud more text to be added, so more information was then added to the interview. Also it made my DPS look more professional and followed the trends of usual DPS pages. 
• I also made the text smaller as it was too big, For a DPS page.  
• I aligned the text so it looked like there are lines holding the text in the correct position. Making it look neat and again professional. 
• I placed a QR code that will send the user to the Realist Website, to the interview page. 
• I used social media sites to promote Subliminal. i made them seem approachable by placing their accounts under the interview so they could gain more followers and fans. Increasing their fan base. 

• I also aligned the images and the text so that the page is used to the full with a cube line space from the end of the page to the text.
