Aim:To concider what the purpose of a DPS is and the key features within them as an article.

What is a DPS?

• I think a DPS is a double page spread within a magazine.
• 2 facing pages of a magazine where the textual material on the left continues to the right hand side.

 

 

Looking in Q Magazine

 

Topics within its DPSs:

 

• "Cash for Questions" - interview with The Red Hot Chili Pepper, First page has an image and the other shows the interview page.
• "Electric Shadyland"- an interview with Eminem, shows more of    he image than the interview itself.
• "Technical Knockout"- which this is an article about s movie called The Matrix and shows images and the information about the movie.
• "Lets hear it for da boys"- which this is about a band called The Ramones and talks about who they are, more like an article instead of interview.      

 

 

Analysing a DPS about Emily King

 

What does the headline suggest about the story?

 

-The headline of this article is " Share my World" which suggest that she wants to share her world to the readers.

 

What is the main message of this article?

 

-The message in the article is to tell us about her (I believe) its about the life story of Emily King as it says here " King grew up in one-bed-room apartment.." and sharing with us how it all started before she became well known for her voice and the song-writing. It also talks in detail about her interests as it is says "

 

How does the first line try to interest you?

- The first line interests me because it (I believe) talks about where she grew up and explains the kind of person she is.
