Image - The image had carefully been taken so that there was enough space around it for her name, the pull quote used, the standfirst and the text. The look they went for was a sepia, vintage looking look which went very well with the clothes she's wearing from her clothing line which is what the article is about. This shows the link between the image and the text. Also the way she is placed and her facial expression says a lot in contrast to the background as she looks quite seductive and provocative whereas the background is in a nice, natural and rural setting. This links well to the pull quote 'I'm not so nice - I can be a bitch' and the 'F' in her name 'Fearne' being in red shows again, a seductive almost dangerous side to her.
Standfirst - Very short, only two sentences which engages readers to read. This standfirst uses linguistic techniques such as:
- rhetorical question
- alliteration
- rhyme
- rule of three
Using these language devices helps the reader feel more connected to the feature celebrity and the article.
Main text - The beginning paragraphs of the text are informal and chatty before the interview starts. The article is more of a story based interview than a question and answer interview. The text uses linguistic techniques such as alliteration and personification. Punctuation is also used well.
What I understood from this DPS is that in order for everything to link, work well together and have a finished complete look, every aspect needs to be thought about such as:
- image
- text
- colour scheme
- font
- type of shot used
- headmast
- pull quotes
- font sizes
- the way the artist is placed and how much room I need to have around them
- language
Now because I know all of this, I believe that I can accomplish putting all of these things in my magazine so that it turns out to be the same standard as a real magazine.
