2. Main Header
On my main header for my DPS I have chosen the font
“impact”. I chose this font not only because it stands
out to the audience, but also because it links in with
my genre. I believe this links in with my genre
(rap/hip-hop) as I have compared my magazine to
“VIBE” magazine. “VIBE” magazine uses as block
styled font, as “VIBE” is a rap styled magazine I chose
it as I believe it will be portrayed more clearly. Also,
as I have mainly targeted this magazine at males, I
personally think this styled font connotes and
reinforces that it is targeted for males. It has
connotations of males as it looks bold, big and looks
masculine. In addition, if I used a font such as “French
Script MT” I think this would have looked more
targeted towards the female gender. I believe this as
stereotypically people stereotype this styled writing
as to be more feminine. Moving on to the colour, I
have chosen the quote “IT’S EAST WHEN YOU’RE
WRITING HONEST LYRICS ABOUT REAL LIFE” in the
colour white. This just gives the DPS a bit of class and
allows the header to stand out more evidently in
contrast to the foreground. However, I chosen to
colour the text for “PROFESSOR GREEN” in the colour
green. This clearly links in with the artist and makes
the artist come across more important.
3. Main Image
Moving on to my main
image of “Professor
Green” and his support
act I have placed them on
the right side of the DPS.
Placing the image of
them on one side of the
page makes them
become more significant
and important due to the
fact that they need near
enough a full side of the
page to themselves.
4. Drop Quote
I have placed the drop quote
in the middle of the main
text. My reason behind
doing this as it makes it
more focused and will
catch peoples attention
straight away. Also, as it is a
quote from the fans it
shows that we take his fans
thoughts and in general
seriously. The drop quote
states “I THOUGHT HE’D
MOST LIKELY BE DRUNK”. I
chose this quote as
