Warriors of Rock D.P.S
This is my Media Magazine D.P.S
The D.P.S is different to all the other pages because it has a Centeral Dominant Image on one page and text which connotates the image on the second page.
I have chosen the following image for my D.P.S because the D.P.S is about my band called "Thunderbolt" and they consist of 2 people.

I have also used the "Blazed" font for my masthead because the font makes the writing stand out from the rest of it. I have also included a website link so that the Target Audience can read the rest of the story about "Thunderbolt" and I have also included a Facebook page as well so the Target Audience could "Like" the page and by doing so, the magazine would send the Target Audience information about the magazine in general but also the bands and free tracks as well.
