The magaazine i have chosen to analyse is a DJ magazine. This is similar to the magazine i wish to create for my main task. Looking at the magazine there are several features that are used to entice readers into buying it. DJ magazines usually have a very exclusive audience, so trying to expand the market is a difficult task. Clearly, DJmags have tried to keep their magazine contemporary and imitate the styles of Q magazine and Rolling Stone. They deviate from normal magazines however by consistently using a slanted font, to try and express the style of music that they are associated with. Trance and Electronica magazines would probably have a similar style to this type of magazine. DJmag also conforms to many standards of magazines by using only two or three fonts. using too many different fonts makes the magazine look unprofessional, but DJmag conforms to these standards and it succeeds because of this.
