Analysis Of Another Music Magazine Front Cover


The title Mix Mag could aim that the magazine is for both woman and men and it is also a mix of different things. It could also represent the mix of different people, meaning that different people like different things and there is a mixed opinion on music. I think that Mix Mag is a good name or this genre because it is inviting all different people from all over the country who like the same music. The use of font is modern, the sub flash is quite large so that it stands out and the subheadings are not so big but can still be still be read. The use of colour is much brighter than the other magazine front cover. It is bright so that it draws attention and also if the front cover looks happy and bright the audience would think the whole magazine or music is happy and bright too, as it represents the whole magazine and the music it is presenting. The use of Language is formal but again as it is a magazine for people who go clubbing the language used throughout the whole magazine some knowledge of clubbing or DJs would be needed because that is what the whole magazine is about. The target audience is people who are interested mainly in clubbing music, house music and chill out. The magazine could be for People who are interested in going clubbing in Ibiza. As there is Ibiza written as a sub flash and it is the text that stands out the most after the Main heading so people who have been there or are going there would be interested in reading the magazine just because there is Ibiza on the front cover and it is a famous name, so it also shows that the magazine is up to date with what’s going on. The target audience is for anyone, any age and any class. The image on the front cover suggests that there will be woman is very small bikinis in clubs and in the places there are major clubs e.g. Ibiza. For men this is a good image to have because obviously they would want to read the magazine as there is a half naked fit girl on the front, and they would want to go to the places that the magazine promotes as the images suggests there will be girls in the places the magazine says. For woman its is a good picture to have on the front because they might want to look like the model, however some people could mistake the magazine to just be for men as the model is half naked. Her pose is quite sexy as for men it could be inviting. I think that the model on the front cover would change to fit the title of the magazine Mix Mag. The main sells are the half naked woman on the front, the big Ibiza 08, Paul van dyke who is a well know DJ, N.E.R.D. who are also a well known band and the change to find out about all the different cubs. The information that is presented on the front cover there is a barcode and there is also a price and date of when the magazine was issued. Both of these are above the barcode. The types of stories that are in the main flash are Ibiza 08, top DJs, new clubs and mainly what’s going on in the club world. Overall I think that the magazine has good structure and layout and I like the presentation of the front cover. I would like to do something similar on my music cover.
