Final DPS

Here is my final DPS. It is taking great inspiration from the sex pistols again, using the stamp style title with mis-matching letters re creating the rough underground look of concerts of unsigned artists. The colours have stayed the same through out the project, with all the bright colours keeping the basic theme of punk rock style.

final contents page

Here is my final contents page. This is very different from my previous contents page. Carrying on the theme from the punk era, namely the sex pistols. I have completely changed how the contents page looks. I have changed up the tone of the contents page from a very dark and contemporary to a bright and taken back to the fanzine era. I used the ticket tape style of listing from the fly. This makes the contents page seem very rough and underground which what I am aiming for. The style still keeps the some conventional aspects such as quotes, titles and re-enforcing the social network aspect of the magazine.

Here is my final piece, this is a lot more different in style to the previous draft of my front cover. By going back through my feed back and changed the style of the magazine to fit the look and feel of the images and story much better.

I used the punk era during the 70s to influence the new design. I liked the underground look of the rough text and bright colours. The colours mean the cover does stand out more if it was on a magazine self or in a pile of magazines at a gig. I really like the torn feel behind the text to make the magazine actually look like a fanzine. I replaced the subscription service with social networking to promote my magazine. The colours that I am using on the front cover do transfer though out the magazine.

Feedback

I asked people in my class what they thought of my refined front cover, contents page and DPS.

These are the most common responses:

• The writing is too small
• The front cover is very bare.
• The contents page is too dark
• There should be a few more details on the contents page.

These are all points I feel I have corrected for my final piece.
