DPS Analysis

Layout: the article is written in columns and which makes it easier for the reader to read. there is a bold text on the right side of the article which may indicate something important or shocking is being said. 

Colour: the fact that the middle biggest picture is in colour and the rest of the other picture going across the double page spread are in black and which may show the importance of the the middle picture, which may also attract the readers to the middle picture and see her as the main attraction for this article.

Photography: in this article they have used a variety of images of the feature artist to show her different personalities. the clothing she is wearing in her main colored picture shows how provocative she may be because of the amount of body she shows in her picture. her posture also shows how innocent she may be and with the tutu dress that she is wearing makes her look cute.
