The DPS is laid out with a large picture of the band to the left and the main article of muse. There are many columns in the DPS all organised vertical. There is more text compared to pictures in the DPS. The photograph used is the band ‘Muse’ holding guitars, show that they are defiantly the genre rock. The outfit and expressions are to portray their band as serious and cool. The lead singer is positioned between the other band members to make him look the most important. The instrument also presents what they each play in the band. The style of the band members shows they want to be portrayed as professional.
The headline is about the main singer speaking to the audience. Many quotes are used to make it more interesting. The writer backs up the singer, giving positive comments about him. The language features used are rhetorical questions, quotes and descriptive writing about the main singer. The font style is very modern with black colour fill which is suited to this type of magazine. The article uses a pull quote stating “it can’t be a coincidence were a band of misfits”. This pull quote is from the lead singer Matt, giving his own opinion/quote to the readers about his band.
The stand first introduces the main singer into the interview, describing his actions. Words such as ‘murder’, ‘brutality’ and ‘death’ describes the lead singer as being tough and violent which may lead to how the band might want to be portrayed. I believe the artist/band would be happy with the writer’s comments/quotes. The writer indulges into a brief description of the main singer. The DPS is suited to more of an adult group because the pages are simple to read, plain font style and the vocabulary is bigger.
