week 10 - mix mag review

The magazine is very picture orientated, although it does also consist of a vast amount of text. It is clearly made to appeal to its own specific audience, dance music fans, and no one else really. I dont believe anyone else would enjoy reading about dance music and seeing pictures of dance acts if they werent interested in that. Another notable thing about this magazine is that it consists of a large amount of advertisments. Theodore Petersons belief was that the modern day magazine has rose to a big level because of the growth of advertising, and in this magazine they go with this theory. They use absolutely loads of adverts to fill their pages, and to also make money. Overall i would say the magazine is well presented and written, but only really for people who are interested in the subject area it covers, and it doesnt appeal to anyone else in the slightest.
