I think the double page spread i have chosen is very interesting and has a simple yet effective layout. The majority of the page is dominated by images, and the way the page has been constructed works well.
The image has been placed so it only goes about 75% of the way down the page. Then the text has simply been placed in white text boxes so there is a definite break between the image and text, however it still looks good.
The first letter of the main text has been enhanced and stands out from the text. The font is very interesting and is modern, sans serif and very different. The continuous use of the font throughout the magazine suggests that it could be a copyrighted font, which Mix Mag uses as a trademark style.
The fact that the magazine is for rough and ready dance lovers is reflected in the language, for example the words considered 'bad/dirty' by another, more upmarket magazine like classic fm's magazine has not been left out.
The interviewer makes lots of comments on the appearence of the band in the first 2 columns of writing, over-using words like 'tousled' and 'ultra'.
The similarities between the cover, contents page and double page spread are very evident and are what mae the magazine look like a whole unit, rather than individual pages thrown together.
