3. Text: The use of informal text has been used on the contents page, the reasons that informal text has been used is because of the magazines target audience,
which is from ages 16-25, therefore using and informal text would be appropriate. As my target audience is similar to the target audience of Mixmag magazine

been used to make information stand out, and in relation to the use of font styles in this magazine, bold has been used to indicate each article. Underneath
the initial article title the use of pull quotes have been used to attract and draw the reader in. As I have seen the use of bold and italics used in both magazines
