Mixmag Double Page Spread Analysis

Mixmag have a double page spread in the magazine which is about "The Mixmag Tour". This is labelled in huge letters taking up just under half of the double page, this may seem like a waste of space but I think it simply states how important this is to the audience of Mixmag. Underneath the title there is a picture of 2 men who are the hosts of the tour, they have a small box of information about them underneath as well. One man has a speech bubble coming out of his mouth which includes the dates of the tour and where they are taking place, also the acts who are performing are included too.

On the 2nd page there are 5 information boxes of acts such as Jack Beats, Fatboy Slim, Vitalic, DJ Zinc and The Count & Sinden. This includes Photos of the acts and their names written in a funky style with an explanation mark after each name too inform the reader how famous they are. There is a small piece of writing encouraging the reader to read the boxes of info and find out about the tour, this says "And so it begins. The biggest, baddest and best club tour in history is back. Join us as we smash winter 2010 into a quivering pulp". This could also be used to encourage the reader to buy tickets to the tour, even if they'e been to lasts years tour or if this is their first time.

I like the style of writing for the Acts names and the bright colours that Mixmag have used for these 2 pages, I'm thinking of doing something similar to this Dps but with my own twist and obviously different topics.
