Today i chose a main photo to use on my double page spread and produced some of the text.

Double page spread in progress

I have started my 'DPS' interview, this is the photo i chose to use as the backdrop.

Double page spread

A DPS in a music magazine can be about various things, the items of discussion I managed to find in a DPS were as follows... a statement e.g. a response to a recent criticism or question that was people buzzing to “set the record straight” this is not always the case but nine times out of ten it is. Next is a biography but a really shortened version like a mini biography told by the artist/band who is concerned. Then there is an interview, the most common DPS. It can be showed in many different way however. Usually an interview DPS is shown in a question and answer format which is a very simple layout. You can also have a type of noted conversation as well as an opening statement which lead the band to give a big back story.

Contents page beginnings

I started my contents page but as i have a lack of photos this very second so i am producing a mock up that will be improved next week.

Cover complete

I have now finished my cover, it is just waiting on the photos to feature at the footer of the page but i forgot my usb memory device so it will be completed at a later date. I produced the tear effect near the bottom of the page with a brush tool in photoshop, originally i was going to erase some of the picture with the pen tool but i felt this gave a better result.
