Analysis of magazine contents page

5) Mixmag Magazine

This contents page is also from the dance magazine, Mixmag. I like this contents page because I like the clear layout, subtle colour scheme and polished look.

The image to text ratio on this contents page is mainly image.

There is one large main image and two smaller insert pictures. I this is aimed at females because of its feminine colour scheme and glamorous look. The main image is of a young female. The woman appears to be leaning on a fence, the pale colours of the fence contrast with the colour of the clothes she’s wearing especially the purple jacket, this attracts the reader’s attention to the image. The clothes the woman is wearing are quite modern and fashionable, which links to the type of music of the magazine, which is dance. The metallic jacket the girl is wearing could also represent the disco genre.

Each image has a page number at the bottom to direct the reader to the page that the particular article is on.

San-serif fonts are used for the text down the left hand side of the page, I think this makes it look more modern and easy to read.

Overall, I like this contents page because its clear and easy to read, glamorous looking and I like the column style layout it has.
