Mixmag - Dance magazine

Mixmag magazine, is a big influence in creating my magazine as it is the most well known DANCE magazine.

Below are notes I took of the magazines front cover and DPS images to help develop my magazine:

The Front Cover:

• colour scheme (blue,pink and white) Bright colours matches with item clothing.
• skyline- expresses the magazine (genre) all in capitals.
• The image (model) quiet zoomed back not too close to camera. 
• item clothing bright makes him stand out.
• props- hat makes dark shadow below eyes 
• eyes directly towards the camera 
• main features- pink linking with masthead and jacket. 
• quotations are underlined and above and below masthead.

 DPS Images:

• Image is up close (personal)
• uses shadowy effect used for font cover (above and below the eyes)
• Eyes are still directly looking towards the camera (still drawing towards the reader/audience)
• use another position (holding the peak of the hat) 
• This is used to cover the left eye (making the right eye more appealing)
• Shadow over left shoulder
• Includes main cover line (the artists name - Tiga) on right hand top corner front of soft pink box. written in capitals in black.
