Column width is close together, paragraphs are almost indistinguishable as to where they begin. The text is mostly aligned to the left and is positioned around the main image of the people – there is less focus on the text. The size of the title is very large and bold so it stands out, as well as the bright yellow colour. The subtitle size is significantly smaller than the title, and only features ”being human” as being bold - as this is the title of the show. The text below that is much smaller so it has less importance. There is text explaining who the characters are, with larger text for their names and smaller text for the description There is a lot of use of space, there is hardly any blank space. This is good because everything is compact and looks tidy. The colours on this page are quite dark and brown, which contrasts with the bright yellow of some of the text, the yellow is brightest feature of the dps There is a main image which takes up majority of the dps, it is focused upon as it is in the centre. It features four characters of the tv show looking dramatically into the camera, perhaps to build excitement for the show. There are two secondary images which are significantly smaller and are used for context as they are next to a piece of text, and have a small subtitle to explain the image. The page numbers are quite small compared to other text on the page, and are on the far corners of both pages. They are accompanied with text ”TV Satellite Week” for context. The branding is of the tv show as the dps is being used to advertise it. There is also branding of “BBC3 & BBC HD” as we understand the drama will feature on this channel, so it is promoted. There is use of captions on the images, to tell us who the characters are of the show and some information about them. This tells us the audience isn’t towards fans, but to everyone. The text is integrated with the image as lots of the text is coloured white against the dark background, there is lots of use of white or yellow boxes behind the text. This makes the text easier to read. Text is used to give context so it is linked The main image is an image which continues along both pages, it shows the four main characters of the show in full, long shots. All characters give eye contact to the camera and are positioned intentionally to show relationship between each other. There is lots of props used as mise en scene such as the first aid kit, the binoculars and the old looking room, perhaps to encourage interest and mystery from the viewer. There are references to mode of address. There is use of the first person plural pronoun “we” used in the subtitle of the page, this already includes us as an audience. This is repeated in a quote at the bottom right of the page which uses this pronoun again. The possessive pronoun ”your” further includes us as an audience as it is refers to the viewer. The design of this dps is quite simple, it features a large title which continues slightly over the page, with a subtitle below followed by two paragraphs of texts. As the intention of this dps is to promote the new drama, there are mostly references and text related. The main image and secondary images also link to the purpose of promotion. My overall impression of this article is that it looks quite professional, there is good use of colours as the light colours contrast with the dark. It looks like it is aimed for a teenage or adult audience because of the darker colours. The main image is quite significant and gives backstory of the drama, as well as the secondary images. There is no use of a drop cap, although the significantly larger title than the rest of the text has the same effect. Some of the text is in bold to highlight and catch attention. We understand that ”being human” is the name of the drama, and perhaps “in a gloomy” is bold to show the reader where the start of the paragraph is. The connotation of the noun fiends is hatred, enemies or evil. Connotations of the noun “limbo” are incompleteness. Connotations of the adjective “gloomy” are darkness, depression or sadness. Generally, the words in this dps have negative connotations – perhaps this is to foreshadow the tv show, or to add mystery. The target audience of this dps are teenagers to adults. This is because the dps uses a relatively dark colour scheme (except for the yellow) which shows maturity and is not what you would expect in a children’s tv show advertisement. The drama also includes werewolf, which the character kneeling down might be – telling us that the drama has fantasy, which may interest teenagers. The show is also going to be available on bbc3 which has an audience of teenagers to young adults – further emphasizing the audience of the dps. There is also lots of specialized words such as the nouns “fiends” or “limbo” which can be like slang, and more understandable by the audience. The target audience of this dps is teenagers to young adults because of the darker colour scheme with hints of bright colours. The dps is fictional which can also attract a younger audience.
