Construction and Final DPS

Construction

When creating my DPS I already had lots of design knowledge from my previous task so I just had to apply it to this page. As the design for my DPS was pretty basic and not too complex it was not hard to create as I only had to insert images and text. 

As you can see here I have inserted text and changed the font and underlined it. This step was easy as I had already learnt how to do this. I made these words star out more as it is something that would attract the audience so if I make it more prominent it will be more eye catching and appealing to them.

Here I am  inserting images into my DPS. I included a fun page furniture design onto the background of my text. This was something that I created in photoshop prior to my project. Inserting an image was one of the most easiest steps in construction as all you had to do was select: File and then Import and choose which image you want to insert. I feel that the page furniture that I used really helped to bring my DPS together and gave it the look of the popular music magazines 

Here I have inserted a rectangular shape into my DPS. This was easy I had to select the drawing tool on the left and then I drew how big I wanted it and selected the colour. I feel this helped to break the page up and it is also seen on a popular music magazine.

Here I am inserting text and changing the colour of it, this again was not complex at all. I had to select the 'T' button to add text and then I could rotate it however I pleased, finally I changed the letters 'A' to pink to keep in with the house style.

Page Furniture Research

Here you can see that a large red swirl has been added to the bottom right hand corner of the page. This is a prime example of page furniture that would be commonly used in well known music magazines. Its main purpose is to make a large bit of text look more aesthetically pleasing. If someone was reading the entire article it may become boring but with this simple bit of page furniture
it adds something extra to the page and makes the page look more engaging to the reader.



Here is another example of page furniture, it is evident that the purpose of this speech bubble is to create a comical effect on the picture. Due to it being speech bubble it creates a sense of the words coming directly from Robbie Williams' mouth meaning the reader feels more engaged and closer to the popular music artist.
