today i have collected a magazine cover page,contents page and double page spread from the magazine "mix mag" which is from the electro house genre and the genre i am looking to do for my music magazine. this means that this article will be the most helpful when i make my decisions such as font.
the front cover has a masthead which made up of a unique font that makes it easily recognisable especially for the left third. the cover page has all the needed conventions which includes: date, price and bar code. the main image is slightly different to other magazines because usually the artists cover the majority of the page apart from this one also the artists are in costume but this how they (daft punk) are usually shown on a magazine. the article also contains a skyline, puffs and pugs which makes the magazine seem exclusive. the colour scheme follows the music genre quite closely as light blue looks like lighting which looks electronic.
the contents page is fairly similar to most contents page because the actual page numbers and information is kept on the left hand side with the photography on the right. the photography its self is relativity big with the one photo of an artist looking directly at the camera for direct address. the colour of the contents page particularly the background follows the sort of electro fell with the bright neon colours.
the double page spread is quite different as the one page is quite heavily worded in text whereas the other is made up mainly of images. the photos all have the same effect on them which makes them look like the genre (electro) the colour scheme is kept constant through out even on the cover page which keeps to the electro vibe. the colours also makes the images stand out and the text clear to read.
