This is my final DPS and front cover for my product. My front cover was made in Photoshop and the DPS was made in Indesign. My magazine was based on 'Heat' magazine which I got some of the ideas from. I stuck to 3 main colours on the front page and 3 on the DPS so it didn't look too crowded and as the magazine was targetted towards females I used pink to brighten it up and make it relate to the Spring colours.

This is my DPS so far and i have added an image in and the text which I also inserted into columns. I used two shapes to create the yellow and red box. I got this idea from a page in the magazine which I based my idea on which was the favourite magaizne by the target audience.

So far using photoshop i have made the background colour blacker and used the burn tool to make it darker around the image. I have also added the title of the magazine using a font from the internet and saving it to my computer. I also editted the contrast so it would make the image brighter.

Writing practice

I think identity theft is shit. The amount of lasses that are victims of identity theft is ridiculous, in the last five years 27 million people have been a victim of identity theft and it will just get worse. If I was a victim of identity theft I wouldn’t know what to do and would feel crap. I would never want this to happen to me so I am careful when I go on the internet as there are some dicks that think it is alright.

In this paragraph I have used first person narrative with mild taboo, which gives the reader a personal and more emotional feeling when they are reading through as they know that it has happened to someone else.

Identity theft can affect people in many different ways. People believe that identity theft won’t happen to them, but it can. The amount of people that use the internet daily, it only takes one website for it all to go wrong.

In the paragraph above I have used the third person which makes it more formal and reliable. It is also very descriptive.

You fucking bastard. Who do you think you are stealing my daughter’s identity? I can’t believe someone would actually do this. This could happen to your cunt of a daughter if you don’t keep her ‘safe’.

I have used strong taboo in this paragraph as well as the second person which involves the reader. It would be inappropriate to show this to any audience because of this taboo and it also comes across very aggressive.
