SA - Researching Magazine Adverts in 'MixMag'

  • After looking at the various music magazines that are popular today, I have come to the conclusion that our track would most probably be promoted in 'MixMag', which is "The Worlds Largest Dance Music and Clubbing Magazine". I think this style of magazine would suit our music track's electric/dnb genre and i can't see it fitting into any of the other popular music magazines.
  • I bought the November issue of MixMag and flicked through to see some of the artist adverts, I found that a lot of them were for live shows. Some take up whole pages, whereas some are half pages or quarter pages. The bigger the artist the bigger the advertisement seems to be the key.
  • The style of the advertisements in the magazine are quite simple designs with not too much of a busy pattern surrounding the text. In terms of text, it also seems to be quite simple.
Below are some examples of magazine advertisements I scanned in from Mixmag magazine:
