Magazine Cover Analysis. (RESEARCH)

To start, I looked at a dance magazine to get a broad view of what is in the front cover of a dance magazine as dubstep could come under the 'dance' umbrella. Mix mag is also a magazine produced by the institution I would like to distribute my own magazine, so I felt it was appropriate to look at a magazine produced by the company.



I think that the images of the artists is a positive representation of them. They look happy in what they are doing and look casual, one of the members has a drink, but the audience do not know if it is alcoholic or not which shows that they like to have fun.

I then looked at a dubstep magazine, which is the genre I would like my magazine to be. I looked at what the cover had on it. I noticed that the title of the magazine is in the middle of the page, showing it is big and the eye cannot escape it. it has the regular conventions of a magazine, for example, featured artists, and a group it will be focusing on in the first few pages. I wanted to look at a dubstep magazine as I wanted to ensure that what I put on my magazine would appeal to my audience.
