Magazine Anaylis 2 (Jack Burgess)
In this version of Mixmag they main type of colour scheme is yellow, blue and white. Yellow stands out a lot more than any other colour on the front cover whilst the blue adds contrast. However the white makes both the blue and yellow both equally stand out, these colour make the magazine seem more relaxed with being harmonious colours. The way that the Prodigy are set up is that the main figure of the group is standing in front of the other members, this lets us know who is the main figure in the group, meanwhile every member in the group has their own third, this make us realize that no member is lower down in the group. The masthead "mixmag" is placed behind Prodigy because maybe it isn't a well known magazine or that is just the house style of the magazine that it usually places it masthead behind it's artist on the front cover.
Majority of the cover stories are placed on the right and left sides of the front cover. With this technique used it lets the audience/reader see more the artist who is appearing on the front and who the main story is pin pointed at. The magazine "Mixmag" has also used a pug. It is placed right at the top the page on the right. This maybe because of when the magazine is the supermarket, you'll only be able to see the top of the magazine along with the masthead. The lead is placed above the masthead to boost the magazine of it being the worlds biggest dance music magazine. It is in yellow to contrast with the background of blue but to contrast with the masthead itself "Mixmag". This gives it more dimension and also contrasts colours again with the masthead being the colour white and the lead a bright yellow.
