DPS Layout

In this blog I will be discussing the layout of my double page spread and some of the changes I made, and also looking at the magazines double page spreads that inspired me.  

This is my final double page spread, The video above explains what changes I made from my initial layout and what aspects I kept the same.  

These are the Indie music magazine double page spreads that inspired me:

This DPS is from Wire magazine, I really like the minimal look to these pages and I wanted to try and create a minimal look like this. As you can see the image goes over half the page, I have done this also as I think it looks neat and helps the test and image link together

  

I also really liked Q's DPS of Lana Del Rey, I particularly like the use of the large letter which I used as inspiration for my large C in the background of my DPS. I also really like the lines on the top of the page where the artist name is written I used this idea for my page also as it in simplistic and geometric which is a big part of Indie designs.

  

This DPS is from Clash, I like the use of titles at the top of the page above the interview I think this is effective as it gives the audience an idea about what they are about to read, and draws them in to read and find out more.
