Double Page Spread Analysis

Mixmag

The font and the colours that have been used on this double page spread had been carried out throughout the magazine, in order to create an idea of brand and magazine recognition. This tactic is being used by many other magazines, in order to stand-out and attract the customers. Through the use of bright colours, Mixmag creates a party theme, which tells what the target audience would be interested in.

By just looking at the page without any details, we can certainly pick on the fact that the page is positive, energetic and creates a lively atmosphere. This double-page spread, is very similar to Q or ATM, as the images had been taken from the photo shoot of the famous artist, which gives an exclusive interview but rather ‘live’ images of ordinary people. The certainly could be an advantage to attract the audience, as many people would be glad to see themselves on the magazine.

DPS in well organised, by breaking into three sub-sections, which would help the reader to orientate to their preferred and desired section.The image of the bottom right hand corner, has a blur affect, which could be achieved with neon glow in Photoshop. I might take this idea into consideration in order to make the images more interesting.
