DPS Magazine Research

Looking at the magazine 'Modern Drummer'  I am going to compare the front page, contents page and the double page spread.

I can see that, the person on the front page is a drummer from the band Nickelback. It is a clear front page image, with drum sticks in his hand this refers and links to the title off the magazine. 

There is a clear coverlines showing who the person is and what band they are from. 

Next on the contents page, there is another photo of the band member from Nickelback, showing that he is going to feature on page 48. It has a brief introduction about himself and what the DPS will involve. This will engage the reader and show them an insight what is on offer. 

Then going to page 48, we can see an article that revolves around 'Daniel Adair' the Nickelback drummer, the article consists of:

8 Written pages

3 Full A4 pictures

1 page off Advertisement 

On some off the written pages there are small images on these 8 in total.
