Drafting and planning / First draft analysis

This is my first official draft of my double page spread:

I have displayed the model on the left hand side so that when the reader turns the page onto this article, they will immediately engage with the model. They will be intrigued because of her happy, youthful look and direct mode of address which my target audience pointed out in my post on 06/02/16. She provides an exciting feel to the DPS. The other images I have used are of the model and the model among friends in Pop World itself, this emphasises that Pop World is busy and exciting and that there's a large element of personality within the article.

I have used a quote from the model "I just love the atmosphere in Pop World" to be the title of my article. I think this will help the magazine connect with the reader on a personal level, making them feel at ease. This was followed by a short summary of what to expect in the interview/article. You find that this is quite common in all DPS', just like the one outlined in my post on 27/01/16.

The interview is actually displayed in columns, this is a typical convention of double page spreads and I wanted to go along with this. I have used orange to feature the questions and white to feature the answers and this is inkeeping with my house colour scheme for the magazine. They provide a nice contrast to the black background. Personal quotes from the model once again give the reader an understanding of her personality.

I am very happy with my first draft, I will converse with my target audience and ask them how best to improve on my DPS, to appeal to them. I will do this through personal conversation, or comments on my posts.
