How Analysis has Affected my Creativity


DPS Pages
I like the integration of the outfit and the text. I also really like the bold font of the headline, and how it sits in relation to the rest of the spread.I like the drop capital, and how much the white on black text stands out. I also like the colour scheme with gold words bringing some colour to the page.I like the drop capital, as well the integration of the image and text, especially the red coverline.
It has shown me aspects that I would like to include in my own double page spread, such as the multiple photos to break up text and the dark clothing on my models in photos.
It has shown me what I do not like and would change such as the amount of white space on the page.
Contents Pages
I really like the way they have photos on both pages, but with one page dedicated specifically to photos. I also like the way most the photos have the same colour scheme, which matches in with the rest of the contents.I like the larger amount of white space included in this contents, it shows the magazine to be of a higher quality. I also like the way they use the red to highlight anything important, as well as headlines.I don't like how crowded this contents page is, with the text and images almost battling for more space. However, I do like the effects they have put onto some of the photos, and might explore putting effects on my own photos.
Front Covers
I like the red, black and grey colour scheme however I don't like how busy the cover looks.I don't overly like the colour scheme as the pink clashes with the blue and grey however like how the cover looks with the slightly diagonal headline and the image overlapping the masthead.I really like the blue background reflecting summer mixed with the ice cream props.
I like the way it overlaps the masthead and breaks convention. I think I will use this on my magazine.
I also like the bright yellow used to highlight the headline.
I don't like how the band is stood, it makes the person on the far right seem like an add-on, and not part of the band.
