DPS Draft 1

This is my first DPS draft. I have followed the colour scheme of my front cover and contents page, mainly using black and red. I was going to use white as my background but I thought that it was too plain and decided upon having a dark grey instead. I have followed all of the key conventions of a DPS and I am happy with my outcome. I have used a pull quote and stand first at the top of my article and with the start of my article I have used a drop cap. Also, I have put another quote in the middle of the text so it stands out and gives you an idea of what the article is about. I think some things need changing for this draft as they don' really look right. For example, I am going to change the pull quote and stand first's font as I don't really like the style of it as it doesn't fit in with the genre of the magazine. Also, there is a question which starts on one line but continues on another so I am going to sort this out so they are on the same line. Finally, I think the photo I have used is too big and I am going to make it smaller or find a similar picture so that it fits the page properly.
