MixMag music magazine.

This ‘mixmag’ music magazine has a very simple and easy to spot masthead which is placed on the top centre of the page in a bright white, large font. It is the largest font on the page which makes it even more eye catching also the background colour is bright sky blue which makes the bright white masthead stand out so it is the first thing people see when they look at it. The slogo of the magazine is 'The battle for the islands soul'. The background to this page is the colour of the nice blur sky on a hot summers day, this goes well with the picture of the main model on the page which is wearing a bikini with sunglasses and nice jewellery; in other words she is on the beach in the sun. This all connects well with the main sell of the magazine front cover which is ‘Ibiza 08’ all the images and surrounding text are all connected with the theme of the summer sun. Also other main sells are the list of content of the magazine down the right hand side of the page. In this magazine issue it represents ‘Herve’s Party bombs’ as a taster of what is inside the magazine such as; information and gossip of many different bands. The masthead font on each ‘mixmag’ issue always has identical font size, font genre and just varies on the colour of the title. The most popular colours of the masthead on each issue of ‘mixmag’ are white, orange and bright pink all depending on the connection between the colour and the main theme. By the font being the same on each issue and the position of the masthead is always the same, this makes it easier for the reader’s to spot the magazine on the shelf in the shops. The model of the magazine is very pretty, with flawless skin and a perfect figure. This makes young readers want to look like them which may cause the young teens to go anorexic. The picture of the model may also advertise the clothes bag and basically her fashion to make the target audience want to get the same. By the magazine having a plain and simple background this makes the image of the main leading model stand out to the readers. The structure of the magazine is layed out very clearly showing quite obviously that it is of a dance genre. This is shown by the clothes that the model is wearing and the layout of the front cover of the ‘mixmag’ magazine is smooth, bright and simple rather than dull and fully detailed. It seems to have a target audience of older teenagers to middle twenties. The image of the main model is only slightly overlapping the masthead which still makes this title very clear. The brightness of colour of the models lipstick which is in red makes her lips stand out showing that she is smiling this looks very effective.
