This magazine shows pictures of festivals and some times at clubs which promotes a happy feeling from those there and that is what the target audience want to do and be a part of. It is aimed to young adults who are new the the clubbing experience.

Page 6: Unit 13 - LO1

Purpose Mixmag aim is to be the ‘The Worlds biggest dance music and clubbing magazine’ they try to accomplish this by making their magazine appeal to the readers values and ideology and putting this into their magazine. The readers value’s in the magazine are the popular artist which are featured on the front cover and include exclusive interviews inside it. This is a main factor which Mixmag always include into their magazine as they know that this is what their readers want and that is what sells their magazines. The readers also want to know about all the upcoming and other festivals which are taking place. They want to know this, as they themselves want to either go too. They also want to know about how good or bad they were and are they worth going to again.

Mixmag’s ideology: www.mixmag.net

Page 7: Unit 13 - LO1

Contents page The front cover is on the contents page.

This is information about the free CD which comes with the magazine. It also includes what songs are on the CD as well.

This is the issue date of the magazine. This has the same text style as on the front cover. Making the magazine more consistent.

This denotes the content of what is in the magazine. This is separated in articles and stories inside. The stories at the front of the magazine are the ones that are more appeling to the reader so they won’t loss interest while skimming through the magazine.

This is the rest of the content inside the magazine which aren’t stories and articles. This is near the back of the magazine. These are at the back of the magazine as they aren’t related to the content at the front

Images related to page number, articles

The colour scheme is follows suit from the front cover as it is mostly black although, it doesn’t have the light pink at the top page.

The pictures are mostly those at festivals which is directed at their audience which is what they want to see in the magazine.

Page 8: Unit 13 - LO1

Masthead :The denotation of the magazine masthead is ‘Mixmag’ the large white master head has a pop art font which gains the readers attention as the white contrasts well the dark background making it stand out more to the reader. The White could also signifies that Mixmag is new and fresh which would be appealing to their target audience as that is what they want be seen as. The verbal code ‘Mixmag’ could imply a mix tape which would be a collection of all your favourite song in one place.

Strapline: Mixmag describes itself as the ‘The world’s biggest dance music and clubbing magazine’ at the top of the page which connotes the importance of their reputation and that they value it and are proud. This is included in the same place on every issue of the magazine and will always follow the colour scheme of that particular magazine. This also implies that their slogan is part of them and never changes.

Main Headline: Mixmag haven’t chosen a headline. They have done this to try and make their reader want to find out more about what’s inside the magazine. This makes the magazine more controversial compared to other magazines in the dance and clubbing music genre. This could connotes a higher respect for the artist ‘Julio Bashmore’ as more of his picture has been shown and he hasn’t been covered by other topics in the magazine.

Barcode

Date, price and country: September 2014 and UK £4.95This magazine is published monthly.There website is also here.

Promotion: This Mixmag magazine offers a free CD of ‘Julio Bashmore’ which could attract more readers to purchase their Magazine as there is a free sample.

Front cover Analysis

Page 9: Unit 13 - LO1

Story separators: Once again Mixmag have been controversial as not to include story separators. This connotes that their magazine isn’t like their other competitors and they are unique, original and rebellious which also coincides with their stereotyped audience of young adults male and female.

Cover lines: There is a question in the cover story about are ‘ Night Slugs the most important label in dance music?’ Mixmag magazine have a wide audience which includes many popular artists, not just Night Slugs. Thus a debate has been present so more reader will want to buy this magazine too see Mixmag’s opinion. The majority of the target audience will want to know more as they are young 16 – 25 year olds who will be interested into going to these events so want to know what it is like and can compare it to other festivals.

Page 10: Unit 13 - LO1

Mixmag only promotes their own website on the front cover of their magazine. They might do this so that people going onto their social media might get distracted with other pages on the website and go away from their page. If they just go onto their website then all the attention is on the. This could connote that cooler group of people will already know about their social media and website so they want too keep it more exclusive to loyal fans.

Website: www.mixmag.net

Picture 2: Carl cox is obviously very resected as he has been give a whole page to a picture of him. As Carl cox has been the Dance music for three decades Mixmag have given him a black and white photo to show his age but also a picture of him smiling to show that he is respected.

Mixmag have chosen this particular picture to demonstration the age of Carl cox with his t-shirt saying ‘Disco’ which is the language that reader wouldn’t use as it would seem old or uncool. Although as the readers will find out he is more of an legend than old timer.

Text: The font used is used to show Carl cox as being older and his name is in bold to imply his importance as an artist.

The red is chosen as it stands out to the reader and grabs their attention. The colour red ‘signifies’ (De Saussure) the importance of the artist as red can also be related as ‘Code red’ so being very important and an emergency. It is also position at the beginning of the article to almost force the reader to start reading.

Picture 1: This picture of Heidi is in the middle of the page. Thus it must be significant enough to be the centre of attention. Mixmag have chosen to use a circle for Heidi’s picture. This could connate that she is perfect with no sharp edges like other people. Double page spread

Page 12: Unit 13 - LO1

Double page spread This picture cover the whole of a page much like the other one. This signifies how Mixmag respect this artist and is also respected by their readers. This picture is also taken from behind him, this could connote that this interview on the other page is behind the scenes.

The top of the page has as consistent black and pink line which goes across both pages. This could connote a wrist band which you would wear at a festival.

This highlights the artists name which is being interview so it is clearer to see who the interview is about. This is the same as the other page.

The interview is split up from questions with a bold text and the answers in normal font. A lot like the other Double page spread.

There is a quote from artist. This is also done in the other magazines which means they follow the same process for each interview in other magazines.

This denotes what is on the page.

Page 13: Unit 13 - LO1

Content Mixmag covers a wide variety of content which is aimed at their target audience’s values and ideology in a magazine. The magazine cover mostly Festivals and other gigs which take part monthly in the UK and across the world. Mixmag include these festival dates and location within their magazine, usually near the front. These advertised festivals follow a trend of either having a dark background with bright colours. These colour are seen as brighter as they contrast the background. These colour could signifies the festival atmosphere at night were lights are the only thing you can see which links in with the dance and clubbing genre as this is what their music gigs are like.

Exclusive stories: Mixmag mostly cover small exclusive stories. This is too keep their magazine popular as there wouldn’t be that information anywhere else and their readers will be able to get that information first. These stories are usually only one page long, for example ‘Toy Stories’ also Mixmag’s own opinion on subject’s in the dance and clubbing genre. They are only meant for a quick read.

Reviews: The magazine continues they get into the more detailed stories about different festivals which include bigger picture and more text. These articles are designed for those who are more interested in festivals and want at description on what it was like with Mixmag opinion. An example of this would be the ‘Big Three’ page were Mixmag review the top three night clubs of the month.

Charts: Mixmag also a dedicated four page to showcase the charts list and interview with some of those artist on the charts. The charts cover the top 10 DJs of all time and tracks sold. These page include a one page spread of the Top selling genre by year where it show which sub genres are more popular this year compared to others. These include; Dubstep, Breaks, DNB, Trance, Progressive house, electro, House, Techno, Tech – house and Deep house.

Page 14: Unit 13 - LO1

Content continued Interviews: Mixmag have a eight page to their exclusive interview who is on the front cover to their magazine. These eight pages cover multiple question and answer which go in and out of their personal life with lots of details of; past experiences, like or dislikes, their future. This is popular for readers as they idolise this exclusive knowledge.

Fashion: Mixmag also cover fashion which suits there genre. Although there fashion is half normal with t-shirts and jeans the other is the more controversial fashion of piercing and other clothing.

Smaller Artists: This magazine also covers ‘Tunes’ which includes the months more niece artists and bands with new songs and albums on the way or already out.

Dates :Towards the end of the magazine at the back they include the months best photos of some festivals and all the dates to the upcoming festivals.

Page 15: Unit 13 - LO1

Form and Style• The Form for Mixmags hard copy magazine is that it is

paper back with a glossy finish on the front and back page. It is A4 sized and has around 130 pages. The digital copy is the same as the hard copy with the same amount of pages and content but available via an app. • The style of the magazine is stereo-typically aimed at

16-25 year old males and females who are very interested and loyal to the dance and clubbing music. Mixmag makes their magazine look more mature so they will have not have big colourful photos but instead they’ll have professional photos which are edited to seem more serious as the readers are more educated than teenagers but still want to be informed about clubs and festivals unlike people over 25 as they might not be interested due to having a full time job.

Page 16: Unit 13 - LO1

Mixmag’s target audience

Hartley’s 7 subjectivities : According to Hartley's 7 subjectivities, Mixmag’s target audience has an age range between 16 – 25 years old. This is because of Mixmag’s content is mostly about upcoming festivals which is usually what younger adults are interested in as they will aim to go to these events. The class of people who go into Mixmag's target audience according to the socio-economics are; C2, D, E. Considering Mixmag's genre of music is Dance and clubbing music the music that they cover will be for people who want to go to festivals. More sophisticated people higher up on the socio-economic chart will not fit this category as the higher up you are the chart you are the more senior you tend to be thus not being interested in Mixmag’s music genre. This will also mean that their spending power is a lot less as students don’t have a lot of money especially to spend on magazines .

Ecstasy article – aimed a younger people who are more interested and have a strong opinion on the affects of drugs. Compared to those higher on the socio-economic scale.

Page 17: Unit 13 - LO1

Mixmag aim their magazine at the ethnicity of young white males and females but they don’t restrict themselves to just them or even to one country as they aim to be a worldwide best selling dance and clubbing music magazine. They also have magazines in countries such as; USA, Germany, France , Brazil and the UK. The magazine I have decided to analyse is focused on the UK festivals as well as some foreign festivals which are included inside the UK issue of the magazine.

Page 18: Unit 13 - LO1

Katz’ Uses and Gratifications Theory:• Based on Katz’ theory Mixmag is a type of

magazine which includes ; informative, personal identification and personal relationship. The magazine will include information about the festivals which include dates and artists which are going to perform at those festivals. Mixmag also provide reviews on pervious festivals which have gone on and they will give a detailed description about what one upcoming ones. • On the front cover of this Mixmag magazine. On

the cover lines there is a rhetorical question about is ‘Night Slugs the most important label in dance music ?’. This will cause a debate that reader will want to find out about as not all reader of Mixmag will agree as the artist are all very different. This is an example of personal relationship as the reader has an opinion of the statement.

Page 19: Unit 13 - LO1

• This issue of Mixmag has a special interview with the artist ‘ Julio Bashmore’ these will go under Katz’ personal relationship as the reader will want to find out more personal information about the artist. This is an admiration for this information. Also for personal identification in their 2008 issue of the magazine they released a free CD with Deadmau5 who had remixed some popular songs. Readers would have bought the magazine because Deadmu5’s music was on it.

• Evidence-’ The February 2008 issue of MixMag's music magazine included a free CD which was titled MixMag Presents: The Hottest New Name In Dance! DEADMAU5 Tech-Trance-Electro-Madness, mixed by Zimmerman.’ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadmau5

Page 20: Unit 13 - LO1

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:• According to this hierarchy Mixmag’s target audience are ‘explorers’ and

‘social climbers’. An explorer would be people who are influenced by social change. This is Mixmag’s target audience as their magazine covers popular festivals and see if they were good or not. They also have a page which is focused subject either being ‘ Guest list or Black list’ which we say their opinion about current events, fashion or styles. • Maslow’s Hierarchy also tells us that the target audience are social

climbers who want too see what new things people have and they are materialistically driven in their values. What they will want in the magazine is what festivals were good and new products or technology.

Page 21: Unit 13 - LO1

Target Audience According to ‘Mixmag’s Media Kit’ their main consumers are 24 males who live in cities and are single. Although they don’t include that they are generally white males who like clubbing and go to bars. There are also females which are interested in mixmag but they only make up ‘28%’, according to mixmag media kit, of their readership.The media kit also states that ‘the majority live in cities and are single’. This will be because most clubs are in the city and the people who live there what to go there and one of the best ways to know learn about this is via the Mixmag magazine.The pie chart also states that most of the readers are single. They will also want to know what clubs to go to meet other people.

Page 22: Unit 13 - LO1

Frequency of Products sold• Mixmag's sell their magazine monthly.• They also sell their magazine in different countries like; USA, France

and Germany each country has a different edition. They sell mixmag in a lot of countries which is shown on the pie chart.• According to the pie chart from Mixmag Media Kit there most popular

audience is in the UK and in the USA. This will because Mixmag sell their product more in these two countries than anywhere else. • In each country Mixmag cover all the festivals and clubs in that

country. This is because the reader is Germany for example don’t want just want to read about clubs in America. They want something that they have the possibility of going to.

Now that all the content is done a content creator will work on the way the magazine is laid out and what it looks like. This is when they make the front cover look nice and make the text colourful to make it more appealing for readers. The magazine will now be printed and produced after it is checked then it’ll be distributed. It will go to different shops ready to be sold.

LO1 – Second Magazine - MOJO

Purpose of the magazineThe denotations of the Mojo’s strapline, ‘The Music magazine’ connotes that it is the only music magazine of its kind and that it is one of the best magazines which cannot be compared to others. This is conveyed with ‘The’ music magazine as it seems that it is on its own being an elite.

Form and Style• Format of the magazine:A normal Mojo magazine is an A3 size which is 21.0 x 29.7cm. • Style:The style of the magazine is aimed towards a older genre of people between 20-30 so the language used is common language and more sophisticated than everyday language although has a relaxing tone. The colour scheme of this particular magazine is white and blue which goes with what the man is wearing at the front of the group photo. This could connote that he has a lot of control and influence over the genre of music and he is popular at the time. Generally the colour schemes of the magazines are pail and calm as the genre of music isn’t loud or flashy but clam which suits the readership as they are middle age.Puff promotion is also used to try and attract more readers to the magazine as there is a free CD of the featuring artist inside the magazine. This will hopefully attract more customers as free music is included in the magazine and as it is the featuring artist that fan base may buy the magazine because of the free CD.

Mojo – Front coverThis is a pug which is advertising a free CD inside it.

The cover artists are in front of the masthead as this connotes that they are the most important and at the front of the magazine.

The denotation of the masthead resembles the calm tone of the magazine as the definition of the word is: a magic charm, talisman, or spell. This can also represent the readers as they are very relaxed and older thus having more respect for music.

‘And!’ connotes that there is a surprising amount of additional information which is provided in the magazine.

The yellow against the blue and white colour scheme stands out connoting that, the ‘sex pistols’ more of a rebellious band compared to the ‘smiths’.

‘The Smiths’ headline takes up the whole width of the page as well as it is in the middle of the page. This further connotes that the band is the most important and that they will take up a large part of the magazine’s content and attention. The blue and white colour

scheme further connotes a calm feeling of the magazine with the pale colours connoting the calm feel.

There are 8 different cover stories suggesting that there is still a lot of content in the magazine, which may interest so readers.

Production ProcessAt first in the production of a magazine you should agree with all department on a deadline for different stories, design schedules, time to proof read, time to print and distribute.After each department will go and brain storm together on what their content is going to be about. For the next 2 weeks they will gather the relevant information for the articles which includes interviews and photos. This will all by written up and sent to the head of department. Then the head of each department will go and read over what content has been written and make sure that it makes; sense, has no spelling mistakes and in good enough to put into their magazine. Now that all the content is done a content creator will work on the way the magazine is laid out and what it looks like. This is when they make the front cover look nice and make the text colourful to make it more appealing for readers. Multiple drafts will be made and then one will be selected.The magazine will now be printed and produced after it is checked then it’ll be distributed. It will go to different shops ready to be sold. These magazines can then be bought at retailers such as; WHSmith, Sainsbury's, M&S, Amazon, Greatmagazines.co.uk or directly from Bauer media.
