Research: DPS 2

 

This DPS is from a classic rock , country edition.

This DPS beings on page 26 and is a double page spread although it only has text one page. The DPs is approx 2000 words and the beginning article opening is about 500 words, this appeals to a wide range of people due to the fact there is not much text bout the young artist. The layout of the article is set out in a interview style this is because of the questions asked and the way the artist has replied.

 

The opening compresses about a 1\6^th of the page and is a larger text to draw attent

ion to the beginning. There are no columns which is different as the rest of the DPS is laid out in 4 columns with a colourful breaker in the centre of 2 columns. The text is aligned to the right so the text reads easily and simply and allows space for this breaker.

The DPS has one large A4 image of a young woman Lindi Orgetga a Canadian singer. This fills the right hand side of the page and the colours used are bright and vibrate this contrasts with the bright colours used in the DPS to draw peoples eyes to the text. The pose of the artist is very simple and elegant and although she is looking away (this breaks conventions) she is showing the audience her young innocence and beauty.

 

The article is intended to a TA who recognise the artist, the headline is dark and simple which draws peoples eyes away from the purple ‘grilled’ the headline is bold as it is of the artists name.

The background of the image is slightly in focus although all attention is focused on the artists flower crown and bright bold red lipstick. The location in which the image has been taken suggests natural light and beauty this contrasts from the outfit as the artist is wearing a bold black outfit where as the silver belt draws some colour and sophistication to the play suit. The artist is wearing a fair amount of makeup although it isn’t major it is eye-catching and the dark bold colours make the artists eyes and lips stand out more through the veil.

The colour of the flower crown  matches or is a close match to the ‘grilled’ and the colourful breakout this ties the two items together nicely and shows that she is linked to her article.

From this DPS I may use the interview style and the ways the colours match the outfit.
