Shout dps analysis edited version
- 1. Basic Layout; The DPS does not follow any type of layout/ rule of thirds. The editor has randomly positioned images and text all over the page, making it seem cluttered. However, this has a good effect on the target audience as they will have a lot of entertainment as there is lots to read. Colour scheme; The editor has used many colours but has used mainly; blue, pink, white and black. This is because the TV programme 'X factor' uses these colours throughout the show and the mise – en- scene in the pictures includes these colours which makes the DPS match the theme and also makes it look more appealing as the colours are bright and the target audience will know that it is associated with the 'X factor'. Space; The page uses almost all of the space with a small amount of blank white spaces. This makes it look not too cluttered and easy to read. It makes the magazine look busy and that it has a lot to offer with lots of snappy texts. This meets the interests of the target audience of young females/teenagers. Images; There are a variety of images scattered around the page; these images are used to make the magazine seem more visually appealing. There does not seem to be a main dominant image. Howvever, positioned at the top of the page; there are 4 images of the 4 main images. These images seem to dominant the rest of the page as they are not just scattered randomly and are directly above the main heading which highlights that they are the main attraction of this DPS. The images all use the same mise-en- scne of the pink blue and white background which is used on the actual TV show. This matches the colour scheme of the text that the editor has used on the rest of the DPS. The images are closely folllowed by chunks of text that gives a description about what is happening in the picture, otherwise known as the captions. Unique selling point; The page includes speech bubbles coming out of the pictures which makes the magazine seem more realistic as it is what thehave actually quoted. This will intrigue the audience as they will want to know exactly what the celebrities say.
