I will use InDesign to create my DPS, as it will allow me to use columns to design both pages of my DPS. This will help me to neatly create an aesthetically pleasing DPS, which will look professional to the eye of any potential customer who may buy my magazine.

Prop Reason why/InspirationA smart designer polo top/ sweatshirt This is because it will convey the

wealth and style of the ‘DJ’ who will be on my magazine cover. It will also depict how the star has similar style to the audience member, which gives them a connection, besides music.

Jeans A common but stylish form of clothing which many people wear. This is important because it will convey how the artist likes to connect with people on a common level. I will make sure to use expensive jeans such as Armani, as this will also help to portray my models wealth and good taste in clothing.

Headphones-beats IT conveys the DJ and studio producing background that the artist has. Furthermore ‘Beats’ are a big brand so it will also convey the artists wealth as it will connote that the model easily has enough money to be able to afford them and wear them to interviews. The big brand will also depict to the reader of the magazine that my model has a similar taste in brands to them.

Sunglasses To connote the popularity and fame of the star. The glasses connote this as they link to the theme of paparazzi and interviews. Furthermore, I will make sure I use Ray-bans as they are a very expensive brand of sunglasses and consequently, this will help to convey my model’s fame and wealth.

Expensive looking watch I will use a gold Rolex to once again depict that the star is wealthy and he can afford big brands of watches etc. This also will help to convey his success to the reader of the article and if the model that I am using for my magazine is very successful, then it will help to create ‘Star Appeal’ and make people more likely to buy the magazine.I will need to use photoshop for creating my front cover and my contents page as I will be able to take advantage of the advanced tools available to me, in order to make my magazine cover look as professional as possible. For example, I will be able to use the ruler tool to line everything up and to make my magazine look as professional as possible.
