Mixmag Magazine

Mixmag magazine is a complete different genre to my style module Q magazine but there are similarities between the features they have used, for example in the first Q contents page analysis they have used a similar layout with the main image on one half of the page with the text running vertically down the page.

Also mixmag have used a banner at the bottom of the page again the first contents page analysis does this. The banner helps divide the page and I think this makes it easier to read.

The long shot of this male character singing and the dance like colours is a complete contrast to the image in analysis 3 as it has reds and blues to emphasise a dance like genre. Where as, Q use artificial light to create shadowing on the face to create a more gritty rock like genre.

Also the language used in this magazine is informal with words such as: ‘Crookers.’ Being used this again defines that it is for a younger demographic.

Contents pages do not look successful in my opinion if there is no main image to focus on as it is what the reader is first drawn to and gives off an impression of the magazine and possibly the musicians within the magazine.
