To consider a ramge of ways a DPS article can introduce an act and the effect the text could have on the reader and to also decide what style, tone and approach you may take as a writer for my own.

To plan photoshoot for my double page spread by researching images and evaluating the last photoshoot for the front cover

1. How could I have taken better photos for your front cover?

• I could have made the photo better by having a close up image of the models.
• I could have planned to and applied more focus to the style of lighting used whilst taking photos of these models - I could have thought about moving the models into the light a bit more, experimented by taking a range of photos with different light conditions outside. I could also do this by using or not using the flash on my camera.
• I need to think about how I could make it more obvious that they are in a band - maybe I could use my guitar as a prop

2. Which made up act will feature in your double page spread?

I will use 'The Yesterday' in my double page spread because I have already started to make an article about them so it would be wrong not to use them.

3. Who will model and why?
Clive, Myself, Matt. I will use them as they have already featured on the front cover as 'The Yesterday' so therefore I would use them again

4. Which settings in Brighton could you use and why?

I could use the following locations around Brighton:

• The Brighton Wheel
• Hove park
• Beach
• Brighton Pier
• Brighton promenade

5. Find images on the internet of artists that you'd like to take ideas from.

Copyright and Digital Permissions

What I have learnt.

• According to Jisc Digital media there is no such thing as electronic or digital copyright - it is a convenient term that people use to imply machine-readable form. It is not a legal or copyright term.
• Copyright is not the only rights issue that will affect digital images. Other rights issues may include: moral rights; issues of privacy and of children and adults appearing in photographs; trademarks; design rights; and obscenity and indecency.
• A copyright is a property right so it can be sold traded or given away so ownership over a copyright can be change owners multiple times.
• Copyright only applies when a design or any idea is created. If a design is thought but not created it isn't under any copyright and can be used by others for their own benefit.
• You must ask for the owners consent before using the image for business or advertising purposes.
• You are allowed to take images from the web and use them without the owners consent IF you are using it for educational purposes only.
• You are not permitted to manipulate any images that may offend or upset the owner and/or the subject in the image.
• Images must be original which means it can not be replicated from something that already exists
• Most digital content found on the internet is protected by copyright
• The copyright law in the UK is centred around a number of legalisation pieces, they are: case law, directives, treaties and conventions and interpretation. 
• The copyright law first came into effect in the UK in 1989
• Copyright lasts 50-70 years after the death of the author.

Consider what the purpose of a DPS is and the key features within them as an article

What is a DPS?

• Double page spread
• 2 facing pages of an article where the writing continues on from the left to the right hand side.

Looking in Q magazine

• "The Wild Bunch"  - Mercury Rev talk about their new album
• "New York Doll" - Blondie talks about her best albums and the best songs on those albums
• "It's a music fan's album." Radiohead talk about new album
• "We just wanted to make a great rock 'n' roll record." - Primal Scream talk about how they created a rock and roll record
• "How Nevermind Changed Music Forever" - Nirvana talk about the bands past and how the album 'Nevermind' changed music.

Analysing a DPS about Nirvana

What does the headline suggest about the story?
The headline "How Nevermind Changed Music Forever" suggests that Nirvana's album 'Nevermind' changed music forever. The headline explains the history of the build up to 'Nevermind' and how it eventually ended the band and the alternative rock scene.

What is the main message of this article?
Its about how the album gave Nirvana global success but was also the beginning of the end for them.

How does the first line try to interest you?

What % would you say of the article is quotes?
