5. Magazine 2: Mixmag
(online version homepage)
The layout is easier to
read/access than The Wire
online layout
Combination of news and
features clearly labelled, and
masthead at the top left corner
of the page, laid out much like
The Wire homepage
Is different from the wire as
there is not a list of links of
events at the right side of the
page
The website homepage has
adverts whereas the first three
pages of the print version is
advert-free

6. Magazine 2: Mixmag
(print version)
The Mixmag magazine is more colourful and interesting compared to
the Wire print version- there is more to look at and the colours are
more vibrant
On the print version cover, there are sell lines
that promote the 'DJ's, tracks, stars, mixes, and albums of the year',
which converges with the online homepage for Mixmag,
which promotes 'DJ Plead and Cop Envy' music.
The cover is quite vague with the contents compared to the Wire
print cover, however there are indirect links to the online homepage
stories, which are more detailed.
