DPS Final

 

The only difference that there is with this DPS to the last one is the font positioning underneath the title 'Chloe Lam'. This is a small change but it looks good and is easier to read.

Front Cover Final

We had to hand in our pages for our teachers to give us feedback on what we should change. Here are the changes.

As you can see, I only had three things I actually had to change; one of which was the bottom line which said 'AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH CHLOE' this was changed to be above the quote and to say 'CHLOE LAM REVEALS' as her name needed to stand out more on the page, this makes it seem a lot more professional.
The second and third changes were a to do with the font size, the words underneath 'Arctic Monkeys Interview' were too small and the words saying 'Inside look into Bombay Bicycle club's tour' was too big.

DPS final (sort of)

This is my DPS.

Like I said before, it needed changes, for example, the background. I decided to put these lines on it so that it would give it a arty kind of look and not look so plain and boring. The other thing that I did was make the background for the writing, grey. I think that this is also a much better change as the page doesn't look so bland but also, it isn't a colour which is too much e.g orange or blue.

Contents page final

I really like my final contents page, it is simple but it also has a lot of things on it. It doesn’t become messy with its content.

I’ve kept the colour scheme consistent and although it took me a VERY LOOOOOOONG time to get the title ‘Inside’ right, I think that it looks great on the page and it looks better than it would have if it was black writing with a white outline.

The photos also really work with the whole page and bring it together to look like a real magazine.

Changes to my DPS

The photos on my contents page.

I got a lot of people speculating about whether I had taken the photos on my contents page myself.

(The circled images are the ones that I was being asked about)

I wanted to make it clear that they are all my images so here are some more of them to show you.

Problems with InDesign

For our Double Page Spreads, we were advised to use the program called InDesign to make it however I had some problems with it.

The above image is of Photoshop and the one below is of InDesign. In InDesign, I could get the same font as the one above however, I could not to the effect of having darker blue lines outlining so it defines the text a bit more.

This means that I had to printscreen the font that I did on Photoshop and import the image to InDesign in order to have that particular type of font.

When I was uploading the images, I started to realise that they were coming out very blurry and pixellated. (You can see this is you click on the photo below.)

This didn't just happen to my photos but also to my font which I imported from Photoshop. 

In conclusion, I decided not to use InDesign and stick with Photoshop.
