Research: DPS rhythm 3

This is a DPS from an issue of rhythm which dates back to September of 2012

Text
The text is layed out in 5 columns across the page around the bottom. The text makes use of casual domain register. It is written in a domain as they are speaking the language of drummers "Axxi ommer models" this is as they are appealing to that audience who knows and cares about drumming. This is good as most likely by using the language they are they will attract the audience they are after but in a less positive light their audience is significantly smaller because if this as not everyone plays the drum.

Puffs
The puffs used in this DPS are used to promote the gear they are promoting in this issue this follows the convention of what a puff is used for which is to advertise things and to promote features such as the best gear available.

The other puffs are used in the bottom of the DPS'S right hand corner to advertise things that they suggest would complement their gear they are promoting which happens to be ear phones and gibatar tuning. By suggesting the gear they give their magazine that one stop feel business want were just by using their service you get everything you need like suggestions and reviews by doing this it creates a one stop magazine and as a result a loyal audience.

Cover line 
The cover-line serves the purpose of summarising key points of the article at a glance and this DPS follows that convention " The note is fairly high pitched and contains elements of trashiness, but the overriding characteristic is one of smoothness". Straight away from this you can get the impression that these symbols and high hats there suggesting are quality items, this cantors to the people who quickly flick through before buying the issue as it could entice them to buy it so they can read the whole review of the gear and all of the issue.

Masthead
The masthead is in a serif font which makes it naturally eye grabbing as its the largest piece of text on the page. The first word of it is also in bold which highlights the brand of what their reviewing so when you turn the page to the DPS you know straight away that they are reviewing sabian symbols and high hats.

How this has influenced me
This has given me on ideas of what i can add to the page of my DPS and how to make better use of the space such as the layout and suggested gear tab which I like alot.
