I asked another students in my class for some feedback on my DPS

This is what they said:

Student one:

What do you notice first about my DPS?

• The bright colours and image

What makes my DPS unique?

• The font is unique and the positioning of the font down the side of the left page

What do you like most about my DPS?

• The font of the stand first
• The bold image of her throwing away the flowers
• The two drop capitals

What do you not like about my DPS?

• The font is the same the whole way through the article – it is quite difficult to read. The positioning of the by-line doesn’t fit the conventions – change the writer and the photographers names so they are different. 

What do you think can be improved?

• The font – vary it
• Make the roses more believable – I don’t think that they are coming from her hand
• Make the pull-quote stand out more in a shape or something?
• A signal that the article continues on the next page?

When you see the DPS does it make you want to read the article?

• Not particularly because there is a lot of writing with no gaps – bold writing 

What else can I add to make my DPS more exciting/appealing?

• A thinner font, coloured background continue on the right page – coloured lines

Any additional information you want to add:

• Nope well done 🙂

Student two:

What do you notice first about my DPS?

• The colour contrasts

What makes my DPS unique?

• The style of the pages and the style of the writing

What do you like most about my DPS?

• The red and black writing across the side of the page

What do you not like about my DPS?

• I don’t like how the models head covers the writing

What do you think can be improved?

• The fact the model covers the title

When you see the DPS does it make you want to read the article?

• yes

What else can I add to make my DPS more exciting/appealing?

• Less black writing

Any additional information you want to add:

• No thanks

Targets for development:

• change the font of my article
• get petals falling down the page
• more bold, colourful quotes
• put a shape around my quotes
• change the name of the writer of the article
