Constructing my article.

Layout , fonts and colour.

For my article only a small section of the text will be on the DPS ( Im trying to concentrate more on the image ). The text will start off with a large capital and the rest of the text will be small and in a colour that contrasts the background image. The text will be split up into 3 paragraphs starting with the introduction , band profile , and interview.

Tense , style and format.

For the text on the page , it will be a 3rd person introduction and profile about the band. I will introduce the band to the reader , give them a little taster of the sort of music they play. I will then introduce the situation ( why they came down , their live session in the studio , their names ). This part will be Informative but slightly less formal.

For the band profile I will give the reader the band history (when they formed , what style of music , where they are from , albums they have released ect ). This part will be informative.


I will follow with a few Q and A's /interview in first and second person. For example - "how big did you expect your band to become?" , "we never expected it to ever be as big as it is now". It will be slightly comical but at the same time informative. We will talk through their influences , how they started out , their previous albums , what they are working on now ect. One answer will appear as a quote on the opposite page. The quote will be quite large and in coma's.

Images


One image will take up the entire background and sit behind the text. The image will be visible while reading the text behind. The location of the image has not yet been decided but it will either be a outdoor or all white picture with the people appearing on the left hand side to make room for the text. It will all be done so the colour scheme works. I will also include 3 or 4 other images below the text. These will be  of album covers , live session and a gig.
