For this article, I researched the magazine 'Fader' to use as a basis for the way I would write and style my article as well as the layout I would use for the DPS. Fader weekly updates their online magazine with an article entitled "11 tracks you need in your life this week". I used this article as a basis of how to word my paragraphs on each song as the article was similar to the task at hand. I found that Fader used lots of informal/slang language that would be understood by the target audience therefore i used the same type of language to accurately mimic them. Also, the way they styled the article e.g. bolding the name of the artists and song whenever mentioned was something I also did.
Using indesign is an area I can improve in as I believe I did well for a first try but can improve with the way my finished design looked. I managed to fit the colour scheme which made it seem more professional however the way I fit some of the pictures onto the page and the way I organised the textboxes looks slightly unprofessional and does not fit the standard way a magazine would be organised. Also, as it was my first time i didn't know my way around indesign so I need to learn how to use it properly.
I am happy with the finished project however as mentioned above it could be greatly improved.
