Mixmag Research Report
I am making a front cover and VIP copy for the magazine mixmag, for these tasks I have had to create a biography of the artist Adam Who? whom will be on the cover and the VIP copy will be on. Also I have researched the target audience for mixmag so I can create my magazine pages correctly. I also had to research the codes and conventions to know how to create the pages so they look like real mixmag pages.
His style is very modern and cool, his hair shaved at the sides and longer on top giving him a smart casual look, giving him the perfect image for clubbing along with the shirt with tie and jeans, despite his swarv appearance his personality his quiet different, he is outrageous and unique in his own words. He likes to just lounge around in his onsie all day and just dance around to dance music, he also goes to weird and wild parties full of foam and balloons with his mates, which shows that despite the fame and fortune he is still a down to earth fun guy to be with. He has aspirations to expand and develop his club as well as release several chart toping albums, making him a super star in the dance community and be able to DJ at the biggest clubs all over the world and do collaborations with top names such as LMFAO and Sub Focus.

Main cover line The main cover line on this issue is Out of the cage CROOKERS this makes a pun on the image of them dressed in animal onsies as it says out of the cage. It then follows, the planets wildest party aniamls, again making a pun on the animal suits. This just basically tells the reader that the main article is about crookers. Left third The left third is basically the left side of the magazine where the coverlines are, however on this magazine the cover lines are on both sides of the mag. But the left third still contains the plus section and the barcode in it. Bar code Bar code is important on all magazines as it allows the reader to purchase the magazine; it is also a convention of magazines. It is located in the left third at the bottom of the cover. Selling line The main cover line is the same for every issue of mixmag (part from the Ibiza specials) and it says the worlds biggest dance music and clubbing magazine. This shows the consistency of the magazine, and regular readers would recognise the magazine. From doing this research I have been able to extend my knowledge on mixmag magazine and therefore made my ability to create a replica page even more precise.
