Exploring techniques/Ideas

This magazine is especially crucial to my magazine genre because it is the magazine i have studied most which is most similar to my genre of magazine. this was important research because i needed to get an idea of what kind of things were put into the magazine. Personally although the masthead on Mixmag is suitable, i would apply a more advanced, exciting masthead to my magazine because a masthead can say a lot about the magazine and the content and can reach out to the target audience which is important. So i would use this as an advantage. in this case the masthead is rather bland and very rounded and fails to unnoticeably identify the genre of the magazine
