· This contents page is only one side, compared to majority of the magazines I looked at which were usually over a double page. The effect of this is that all the information is more condensed, with only one column and one picture as well as the description of the free gift that came on the front cover, in this case being a free CD.
· There is just one column entitled ‘VIP’ which has all the page numbers under it so you know where each of the articles are in the magazine meaning you can go to the one that interests you the most immediately. Each different article has a main title in capital letters which segregates the sections and the small description underneath provides the information you need to know what it’s about.
· The one main image isn’t the same as the one on the front because it just has an unknown woman dancing and the page number with a small caption to what she represents. However, this is a dance music magazine so it’s just advertising the magazine’s genre.
· The traditional title of ‘contents’ is clearly displayed at the top, along with the magazines name ‘mixmag’ and the date of its release ‘September 2012’ also at the bottom they have provided a website so you can keep up to date even when the latest issue hasn’t been released. The colour scheme is mostly black with white writing which creates a clear contrast and then the colourful image adds a more fun appeal to it. The different fonts used gives it a more laid back visual approach whilst making it look good and arty, like the style of music it is portraying.
· There is no editor’s letter on here or extra photos showing more of the articles inside and I think that is unusual and the lack of visual stimulation makes it more boring to look at. I think that they have tried to focus their efforts on the actual magazine and what’s important like feature articles and photo galleries.
