Double page spread: MIXMAG

The double page spread is made very simply, calm colours and large images just like the other pages in this magazine. They make the images big because that is the only way you can to see what the atmosphere is like to be at a house festival for example.

The image is placed slap bang in the middle, even crossing through the double page and the text is written around it. The image shows people partying which is how the youth is represented nowadays, party non stop go sleep and repeat. In my opinion house magazine is all about partying so to show this image, makes everything correlate with each other. This image is also showing about a festival/party that has happened which is what the dps is about, it could create a sense of jealousy for some readers because they probably really wnated to attend it but didn't. Now reading about it could make them a bit frustrated and angry that they did not attend.  Once again there's not too much written because that tends to bore someone that likes this genre, they prefer having more images to look at. The layout of this double page spread is neat. Also to fill up the space MIXMAG went ahead and added more stuff to the double page spread which is a separate kind of list of "famous five." Reading that it could be anything so it kind of draws the reader in.

There is a puff on the page to identify the place where you should start reading and also it's just to add a bit of colour to the page and interesting shape. 

The red dropcap correlates to some of the texts because some are written in red to create that kind of colour scheme. 

The pull quote from this dps is on its own, not very close to the rest of the text. This could show how important that piece of text is and should 100% be looked at when starting to read the article.
