This collage showcases many of the photographs I took for the DPS Photo shoot. The image in the centre was chosen for the final double page spread. I loved the colours of pink & blue in the picture and the light given off from the neon background. I also liked the vintage posters in the background and how they contrasted with the new modern look of the neon sign. Even though these pictures show my first real attempt with the Canon SLR camera, I was quite pleased with the outcome and I learned a lot about how to use the settings while at the location.
This flat plan was very useful in organising my thoughts about where I wanted each part of the DPS to be. Some of the conventions included have been inspired by real life products such as the "Q" magazine which I bought for research. All of the research I have conducted has been greatly beneficial in developing my knowledge of music magazines and their customs. In the final product, I ended up making some changes especially to the bottom of the page which I had not thoroughly considered earlier. However, this gave me a great base plan from which much of the page was constructed.
