ingredients
Task 1
Masthead – Done with class
title (logo)
Why is it there?
What does it do?
The title mixmag makes it a brand, it also tells us what genre
this magazine fits into
Mixmag – size and style is the same, colour is also a key
point, why is the colour used, blue background, fits in with the
theme of the cover, anything that is on the magazine is cover
lines, structure can also be involved
The Masthead at the top of the page is very bold and is made
to look appealing and eye catchy. Every other Mixmag
magazine has the same style and size masthead title; reason
being is because they want consistency so people are
familiar with the magazine and its style. The name of the
magazine links It to the genre of music which is ‘dance and
clubbing’ in Mixmag’s case.
Dateline Telling you the date when it was published date, month and
year, monthly magazine, it’s a conventional thing, got to
include it, subscribe to the magazine pay monthly get it
through post
Some subscribe to the magazine and pay monthly, they
usually get it through the post, not sure if you can view it
online or anything related to this.
Month and year of publication, often with the price. Note that
a monthly magazine usually hits the news-stands the month
before the cover date
Main image Main image plays a big part, holiday theme, the cover line is
‘ibiza’ you get a clear idea that somebody is on holiday,
shows flesh, looks sophisticated, talk about posh, what
meaning is the meaning and link it is trying to create
Main image plays a big part, ‘holiday theme’ storyline and
2. musical feel to it, the cover lines are attractive also like the
main image you get a clear idea that, you get an idea that it
is’exciting’, various colours also used, intended for people
who just want a fun time (18-23). I think that this will attract
people who like the ‘RnB genre’ as various other artist are
written on the cover lines around the magazine.
Model credit Model credit is who the person actually is; it’s not needed
most of the time. This is the main image on the front cover
The photographer and model credit is usually on the contents
page
Cover lines Coverline are contents on the page, cover lines will let the
reader know what is included within the magazine, it will also
help some people follow where certain information is that
interests them.

Main cover
line Main coverline is the Ibiza 08, takes half the page, talk about
size
Main coverline takes half the page. This has to be eye
catchy reason being it is a big title, so you have to ensure
that colour, size and style used is good and appropriate. The
main cover line has to be relevant with the other cover lines
what I mean that the people reading this will have interest
throughout from start to end.
