Adding On To My DPS

Prior to the audience feedback that I have received, I have decided to add more on to the article side of my DPS, with shapes and banners, as I feel that any extra images or content will make the page look too crowded and busy, whereas the shapes will maintain a sense of simplicity, but will make the page stand out even further. 

So, for behind the text, I have chosen to add ellipses, with low opacity, so that they look subtle but effective. 
Besides this, I have chosen to add a banner across the three images at the bottom, but with low opacity as well. This means that the gaps beside the images do not make the page look too blank, but the page again does not look too busy either. 
Also, because the background still looked somewhat plain, I placed an image I took of a brick wall into the background of the article, and gave it a very low opacity, again making the overall effect very subtle.

Finally, in terms of the large gap after writing the article, I decided to fill this in by mentioning Ashleigh being on a British TV show in the coming week, which emphasises that this magazine is mainly exclusive to British adolescents, rather than a more mass demographic.


I also added the faint red lines, so that this small snippet of text has been differentiated from the actual article.
