Becca's Similar Product Research (DPS) - Mixmag Issue Feb 2009



This double page spread from Mixmag magazine is picture led and the picture is clearly staged and edited. There is a lot of white space and this makes the colours stand out. A byline is used to tell us who wrote the article and who took the photographs. The article starts with a leading capital and its mode of address is formal because of the vocabulary used throughout the article. I personally like the idea of a DPS that is picture led like the Metal Hammer DPS as it gives the reader something to look at instead of just a massive article to read. Also, bright colours appeal to the eye and this is what I liked about the Clash DPS. A white space is a good idea because it makes the black writing clear to read and it looks modern.

    Don't forget to respond to my earlier comments for institutions and front cover research. This will boost the quality of your planning.
