Front cover-
Mix mag is aimed at (target market) old teenagers who are interested in DJ/club. There is only 2 pictures on the front cover with one of them a mid-shot, this is the main picture of David Guetta, underneath his face there is a pun "Guetta load of this!" with the colour of the text contrasting to his clothes to stand out. The colour of text is yellow and white, the yellow can be compared to being neon which resembles club. The feature of there being a free mix CD make you want to buy the magazine more attracted you to it. With the background being very basic it makes everything else stand out. The features in the corner want to make you read the magazine as you may like the featured artists. The word "FEATURING" stands out as its bold and in capital letters.
