Mixmag Double Page Spread Analysis



Font
The title of the DPS is the first thing you will notice. it is bold and it stands out from the rest of the page. The main focus is the word 'rave' seeing as it is a different colour. The only other font that sticks out are the quotes which are made to shock people and draw them on "i shot someone in the chest at a rave". This would draw some people in to want to read it.

Layout
The layout is pretty simple, the main picture is located on the left hand page along with the title. The sub heading is underneath the title and the text is on the second page of the DPS. The layout is very basic but the this DPS isn't the main article in the magazine so it wouldn't be to technical, they are just getting straight to the point and telling the story. the quotes on the right hand side of the DPS are made to shock people and to make them want to read more an possibly buy the magazine.

Pictures
The pictures show different phases of his life and how he turned from a multi millionaire into a penniless convict. The pictures that show hos life are around the relevant bits of text, for instance the picture of him growing up is at the beginning of the article. At the beginning of the article where the main story starts is a lock, this symbolises what the story is about and makes you think how he will end up when your first start to read the article. The stars around the article i think represent the american side to the story and remind you of the multi cultural side to the story.
