Double page

This is one double page of Mixmag.
There are three pictures on the double page. Two of the pictures are just fitted in around the text. But the over picture takes up the intire page it is a medium close up of a women. This picture is good because its very eye catching and makes us want to read on. The picture is quite dark and even a little bit scary and is from a photo shoot all three pictures are from the same photo shoot. Under the picture it has a quote which says "Sometimes I think I can't do this and then other days I'll make something I thought I never could!".I really like this quote its very thoughtful and could mean so many things, I think this is beneficial to the magazine. The text is rather small and there is a lot of text. There are two drop capitals on this page which splits up the subject. The atmosphere that the magazine gives off is a dark and interesting feel mainly because of the pictures. There is not much use of colour and it’s very dark and even slightly a bit dull. What is a bit surprising is there are not captions under the pictures so it doesn't really tell us what each picture is about. The only writing is the quote. The facial expression of the Woman on the left hand side page is interesting in the way that her facial expression can all most tell a story.

The language and the text are really deep and it not easy to understand what they are talking about. I believe the article to be about a band member or a DJ and how there life is perceived.
The font is easy to see and read and is a good size. It is also bold to make it stand out and also helps the text to fit in with the dark pictures. As I continued reading the article I began to understand it more and get more of a detailed idea of what it was about for example the "conducting life of a DJ."
The layout of the double page is typical of a music magazine and has a nice effect to it. What really works about it is the way that the writing goes round the pictures. Another point that works about the magazine is the article over laps a tiny bit on to the next page this helps to link the pages together.
The really good things about this double page is that even though the colours aren't really that bold they still stand out mainly because the image is eye catching and dark and makes us want to know more. Another thing that is good is the quote at the bottom of one of the pages this gives us an opinion. I think that the page could be better if it had a title or some sort of heading so we can understand a bit more.
