DPS Draft 1





From the original DPS mock up i needed to make changes to the plan to ensure that the DPS was aesthetically effective and obeyed the double page conventions correctly:

1) The first change i made was the positioning of the Main image - I changed the image to cover the whole of the right page and over the gutter slightly onto the left page. I did this as the image is of the band who is the subject of the interview but also because they are a new band and therefore need to have more of a visual so that people will learn of them.



2) I decided not to have a second pull quote as i felt that one was proficient enough and that another would crowd the DPS and take away space from the image.



3)I decided to change the positioning of the pull quote in the main body text from the center of the text to the middle of the last column as placing it in the center would upset the focus on the interview.



4) The DPS seemed not to connect together as flowing as it should so i used a shape tool to make a thin black long rectangle shape along the top of the DPS to connect the two definetly.



5)The last change form the orginal plan was to lengthen the Article title "Right Hook Ruin" across over the gutter onto the image on the right to further link the pages together and to further convey who the band/image is of.
