DPS 2 Progress 25/01/12





I have started to produce my second DPS which is an article about Rob Shepherds Kayaking experience. I have used an article which is in a magazine called DOR to use as a layout template for my article. I am doing an introduction page which has the title and a small description underneath. My 1st page is going to have a large close up of my models face and my third page will have the actual interview. I have used a coral and grey colour scheme throughout this article. The colours are natural and laid back. They give off a sporty vibe without being too overpowering.

I decided to change the layout of my DPS 1 again. I was originally going to create 2 pages for this article but I think changed it to three. After designing my introduction page I decided it would look better to put the introduction onto the second page and just have two pages in total. I decided this because there wasn’t much information on the first page and it was a bit of a waste. Also my second article is 3 pages long. These images show the way that my first DPS has developed.

Monitoring Log Week Beginning 21/01/12

This week I was schedules for writing my interview for Rob Shepherd, write the headers for each of my articles and think of which narrative voice I am using for each of my articles.

I have started writing my interview for Rob Shepherd so I can ask him the questions this weekend. I will need to complete all of the questions over the next few days. On Tuesday I have looked at magazines such as TGO, Kingpin and DOR. I read through some of the articles to see which narrative voice was being used. This was helpful as it showed me how I should write my articles. This week I have also thought of all my headers for each of my pages and I have put them onto Photoshop and InDesign on the correct pages. 




This week I noticed that it might take me a long time to produce my InDesign and Photoshop work so I started creating my first and second DPS and my front cover for my magazine this week. I started by setting the dimensions of each of my pages (280mm by 42mm). I then copied the styles of a magazine called DOR for the layout. This magazine has the same target audience as my magazine so the layout will be appropriate. 


 
I started creating my Front Cover as this is similar to my mock p front cover I have used the same file but I have changed the headlines and moved them about. I have also changed the colour scheme slightly.

InDesign and Photoshop Progress

 
I have started creating my Rob Shepherd interview article. I have created a new document to the right dimensions for my magazine. I have copied the layout for this article from a travel magazine called DOR. I decided to change the layout of this DPS because I felt mine was too boring. The pages in DOR magazine present the article in a different more interesting way. I am going to take a very close up picture of my model on the left hand page, on this page there is going to be no writing. . This article is going to have three pages.


I have written all of my sell and headlines for my magazine. I then used them to create my front cover of my magazine. I have used the colour scheme of yellow blue and beige as these are the colours I set out to use in the treatment. I placed a barcode from the internet onto my front cover. I put on the price of my magazine to make it sound professional. When I have done my front cover photo shoot I am going to put the image in the background.
