Analysing double page spread from Brit Asian magazine

This double page spread is from the magazine Brit Asian which is Bhangra magazine and is only available online. It focuses on the runners up from Britain’s got Talent; Signature who are an Asian dance group. On the first page, it consists of an image of the main member of Signature who is on stage and is dancing. Next to this, is says “signature workin” with social networking sites underneath, implying that Signature are part of these sites and have also gained more fame form these sites.  On the other page, it has videos of the group performing some of their dances. This is unconventional as magazines do not include videos; however this magazine includes videos in many of its other articles as it’s only to be viewed online. Also, the text is in a paragraph, and not in columns also making the magazine unconventional, as magazine double page spreads consist of text in two/three columns.

It consists of a minimum amount of colours; pink, white, black and grey. This is conventional and is so the magazine doesn’t look too busy and clash. Also, the fact that the double page spread is even (a picture on one side and text on the other) shows that it is conventional as it is balanced like a double page spread should be.  The colour pink, is used for the title of the magazine, and is linked with the social networking emotions. This is so the colours go well together and link, in order for the magazine to look professional. The fact that the header says "day and night" shows an image of Signature performing at night, (left) and in the day (right). This shows they are diverse and able to work whenever, and attract a wide audience for both children and adults.

At the bottom of the page, it has different sub titles which allow the reader to back to website and view other issues or pages of the magazine. This is unconventional as general magazines don't allow you to do this as their paper based. It is almost similar to a contents page as it allows you to go back and forth to different pages online, whereas in a general magazine you would be able to refer back to the contents page and see what else is included in the magazine.
