How the genre of music is being represented


Front Cover of Mixmag





Lighting and colour

Yellow is a neon colour which contrasts with the black font, this represents the glow sticks in the dark creating a rave setting informing the potential customer that the magazines is about clubbing, raving etc

Picture effect: The combination of the black and yellow with the distorted affect represents the vibrations coming from the base of the music in the rave, it also informs us of the genre of music mix and mag deals with. The disorted font represents the base in Dub-step, rave songs etc.

Facial expression

Generally all the people in the front cover look happy showing that they are having a fun time it also portrays raves and clubbing as fun as the Dj's seem to be enjoying themselves.

Costume and props

Head phones and a mixer again referring to the genre of music, the magazines deals with Dj's and raves.

Iconography
Famous Dj's who are all men.
