DPS Layout

Double Page Spread Final Flat Plan

This is a computerised version of my final double page spread flat plan, this allowed me to follow it step by step in order to achieve the layout I wanted.

I tried to follow the layout for this double page spread as much as possible with the artist and the pull quote on the left hand side of the DPS. Also on the right hand side of the DPS at the top mine also has my artist's name and then underneath is the interview just like the magazine above.

The image above is on the left hand side of my DPS. I did this to challenge conventions of using the angle of gaze. My artist is abiding by my red, blue, black and white colour scheme. 

As you can see above jay sean and my artist are posing in similar fashion, this means that they are both looking down in an angle this is too ensure that its an R&B pose, although it may sound silly but I felt in order for my artist to become an R&B artist he must pose and have the same 'swag' one would have.

My artist's name is on the top right in blue, this is to follow all the conventions throughout my magazine, this is due to the fact that every artist's name is in blue. On the bottom right there is another pull quote beneath the end of the interview and an image of my artist with the angle of gaze. Why did I do this? I did this because I want my artist to be seen by the reader in two angles. The one on the bottom right is using the angle of gaze this is to engage with the reader.
