Evaluation of MOJO front cover

Mojo isn't a Rock magazine it a classic Rock magazine, the reason why I am going to analyse a classic Rock magazine is because in my magazine I want to create a Rock/classic rock magazine.

Colour:

The colour of the mojo magazine is black and white adding the classicalness of the magazine, the text is in gold and white make it stand out more so readers can read what is on the front cover.

Design:

The design of the magazine is very neat, but yet overfilling because there is a large amount amount of text on the magazine, the text is also very large which  make the page look very full. 

Images:

On the front cover there are 3 images, The main is very large that cover the whole A4 sheet. The picture looks as if was taken in the 80s, this is because it is black and white and from the clothing he is wearing. The 2 images is an image on Corinne Bailey Rea, which looks like it was taken in the 90s, this is becuase there is some sort of of colour but barley any. There is another image on Ian Bury this looks as if it is animated, this is because of how bright the clours are, and how the shodow goes across his face. 

Pose, Style hair, and make-up: On the front of the Mojo magazine, the male has a very long haired style, that is scruff, this is very 80s, this is the kind of hair style that most rock stars had in the 80s. 

The pose that the male has is very tens and has a normal look to his face not showing any feeling, but is shoulders are very tens, this can been seen because it is a close up shot of the male. 

The male appers to be wearing no make, it very hard to see if the male is wearing any make because the picture is in black and white.

How are word used on the front cover:

There are many different words that are used on the Mojo front cover, there are words like "SALYER" this is adding a small amount of aggression but not a lot, this is because it is a classic rock magazine, and not like the conventuralen rock magazine that uses alot of aggression. They also use the "FREE" this is very eye catching for the reader to see, and this may also attract the reader in to buying the magazine because they are getting something for free. 

Language:

The language that is used on the magazine is very classic rock this is because they want to attract the right readers, and want people to read the fornt cover as if they are reading something that was published.

Overall impression-how effective is the front:

My overall impression on the front cover is, is that it is very affective being a classical rock magazine because the main picture in black and white, and the clothing that  the male is wearing is very 80s, this is adding to the       

classicalness of it, it has the right font on the magazine making itstand, the coulours that are used for the text are very effective because it tells the reader that the magazine is classic,and will be worth paying the price.
