DPS Final Draft


1) 

2) I made a few adjustments to my double page spread. First and foremost I aligned the guttering evenly to organise the layout. I also changed the colour of the questions from red to white because the red did not stand out as much as I'd hoped. 
3) Having asked my peers about any improvements I could make, the majority pointed out that the font used for the body text (Book Antiqua) did not suit the images. I realised they were correct; the serif font did not look modern enough so I changed it to Century Gothic - a sans serif font. However, it is suitable for the pulled quote as it gives off a genuine vibe. I also changed the colour of the headline so it looked more subtle as opposed to the bright red. I then varied the font type, colour and sizes used in the pulled quote within the article in order to emphasise the uncertainty of the artist.The column of words around the smaller images were moved closer to provide a tighter guttering.

Contents Analyses

Having analysed these contents pages, I was most intrigued by Q's layout because their style is unique and memorable. The wealth of images on the page draw the readers attention and engages the reader more than the other contents pages because they give a visual of what to expect as opposed to just reading - too many words can put the reader off and I believe Q have grasped the concept of balance between images and text.
