Step 1:Editing

This is the first step of the process. I used the eyedropper tool to pick out the colour of the light coming from the side and filled in the opposite side with the colour to make the image look more glowy and angelic. This gave both the pages a professional look and made it seem like it has been edited nicely. The angelic effect of it gives the model a diva or a goddess look because the article is about her huge success.

Step 2:Effects and Filters

I used various filters and played around with the brightness, saturation, sharpness and colour of the image to come up with an appropriate filter that gives my DPS a pop-sy look. The colour pink is associated with pop music genre which is what I found in my genre research survey. The colour on the image is a bubblegum pink to make the model look girly yet like a diva with the glow around her.

Texts

The texts are split into columns to make it easier to read in chunks and it also meets the normal DPS conventional feature. The questions and the answers between the speakers in the text is in different colours to show the conversations and it helps read the text better and makes it colourful. The drop text is used to mark the beginning of the article and is also a conventional feature.

Lines

The lines along the text line are used to separate the two columns and they fill in the blanks on the page and make it seem fuller. It makes the layout looks neater and keeps the texts in place. Each of the lines start where the column starts therefore they are on different levels.

Page number

The way the page number is written isn’t a conventional magazine feature which adds a unique touch to my DPS. The page number is written as the word ‘Twenty Two’ instead of ‘22’. This could draw attention to the page number.

Photographer name and finished DPS

Lastly the photographer name is added at the bottom to give credits to the photographer. It’s written in bright pink so it matches the theme of the DPS which makes it stand out and also blend in with the theme. It’s made bold and italic to make it stand out and be more visible.

Re-draft

This is the redrafted version of my finished work. Some of the things I’ve changed are: The opening paragraph colour, the level of the lines, the page numbers, photography and texts. I’ve changed the colour of the first paragraph of the column to separate it from the conversational texts on the rest of the column. It suites the theme and adds matureness because of the colour. The lines were initially put where the texts began but I’ve levelled them together to make them look neater and make it seem like it’s been edited by a professional. I’ve forgotten to add the page number for the second page of my DPs previously which was also added. To fill in the empty spaces at the bottom of the pages were filled by adding the magazine name in its own font and the year the magazine is written. I’ve changed the “photographed by” text colour from bright pink to purple to blend it in a bit more. Each of the little texts at the bottom of the page was separated by little circles which also add to the empty spaces and make the bottom look professional. The social media logos add extra colour to the page and gives it a modern touch. They could also be on of the modern magazines conventional features.
