Mixmag was first published by the DJ mail-out service in the early 80's and was advertised by Technics Panasonic. It is Britain's most popular dance and clubbing magazine. Containing upcoming dance events, reviews and Britain's biggest and best club nights, it is a magazine with an original approach to media and is jam packed with exactly what party animals want. I think that if my magazine were to be distributed and produced then it would be by the DJmail-out service who would target my audience of 18-25 yr olds most accurately.
The colour palette is limited ;white, yellows and greys and the font would be familiarized with digital text and electronics which is in-keeping with the clubbing theme.
The text is consistent and against the dark cloudy backdrop is a central focus of a well known musician. There is also a free CD on the bottom left of the cover, giving the viewer more incentive to purchase the product.
A good start. Most of it looks a bit copied and pasted... I want to see your own spin on it though.
