Firstly you can see that I have continued using the same colour scheme and font from my other pieces, in order to create continuity and link them all together.
I've used images that portray 'Alice' as a person who the target audience would be able to relate to easily to, due to the the poses as well as the fact that in every image she is looking at you. This will then draw the reader in, making sure the article is read.
The layout of the DPS has the typical qualities that other magazines have. The first page is just one large photo of 'Alice' with a quote above: a feature that is seen in many magazines regardless of the category. The first page also contains a brief introduction to the article, another common feature, with the red background making it stand out and drawing the eye towards it.
The second page's design is very different to the first page. The most obvious clue is the presence of the overlarge speech marks on a background of red, another common code and convention of magazines. As the speech marks are so big, they automatically draw the readers eyes towards the article, whilst the bright colours enforce this. The page is bordered by the thick yellow lines, which creates space for the text and images as well as adding interest to the article.
I decided to structure the article in the style of an interview; showing both the questions and answers. In order to make this clearer to the reader, I put the questions into red whilst leaving the answers in black.
As most articles of this sort take up more than two pages, I decided to include a small arrow at the end of the text on this page to indicate that the article continues on.
