Main splash / image: who is it and does it celebrate the person? How is it lit? Is the singer made to look important? How many other images are there?
The cover of mojo magazine is Neil Young. The cover is very bright and lively it has lots of colours and make Neil look popular and fun. Neil is right in the middle and is its focused on his face and and upper body showing he is respect and proud. Its also adverting Cd music and Neil is showing to have has Cd at bottom showing more people about his music and why he is so respected.
How 'busy' is the cover as a whole?
Are there cover lines (additional articles)? How organised are they? Do most music magazines have a similar number of cover lines (additional articles)?
The cover is quite busy and may be overwhelming, this is because there lots of writing on the sides. The writing is talking about all the articles inside the magazine. The cover lines are organised and easy to see and read, most magazines normally have a similar number of cover lines.
What are the main colours and is there an accent colour?
The main background colour is blue and a calming orange. The font is in white as its contracting the blue nicely.
Is there a cover mount and is this typical of MOJO?
This is a typical MOJO front cover as it has a big picture in the middle and other articles/adverts on the side.

ReplyDeleteYou have set out your answer in an orderly way: well done.
You recognise that MOJO is both 'busy' but also 'well organised'.
Orange is usually considered vibrant rather than calming; the point here is that there is control over the number of different colours so that it remains looking cohesive.
You missed this question: there is a cover mount (a free CD) and this is typical.
