2. LOCATION IDEAS
Through the knowledge and understanding of the genre of Mixmag and by the
means of my other research and planning, I have discovered that music
magazines based around the genre of Electronic Dance Music tend to have a
familiarity in terms of using various locations as their setting for the front
cover and the images featured inside. They often have plain yet brightly
coloured backgrounds which match their colour scheme and occasionally
have desirable settings such as foreign countries and things associated with
them, such as swimming pools, raves, nightclubs or beaches.
An example of this would be the location of Ibiza. This Spanish island is well
known for its general party atmosphere and vast array of clubs that attract
the very best of DJs from around the world.
