MOJO Anaylasis


The MOJO magazine cover is very neat and packed with information. The banner, saying MOJO, is stretched across the magazine, being very bold. However, it may be eye-catching, but it is not made to be the most obvious thing on there. They do this by covering up one of the letters with the main-splash image and by making headlines almost as big. As it is the company of the magazine they want you to know who they are, so that is why they make it big.

The main-splash image is of David Bowie. They make the image of him stretch over the whole magazine and therefore someone looking at the magazine can see that he is a big feature within it.
Then, the main headline is made massive so that, if you don't know who the person on the front is, you get a good idea. They make the main headline about the main-splash and so on this magazine BOWIE is made massive and spread over the middle of the image.  What actually is in the article is put into little snippets surrounding the word 'BOWIE' which tells the reader that because they surround that particular word, the 'new interviews' are something to do with David Bowie.

There are two puffs on the cover of this magazine. One consists of three different colours, black, yellow and red and so is very bright. The other one also has three different colours, black, white and pink with an image in the centre. Those two puffs of the magazine are the only things that don't follow the colour scheme. The full magazine follows the colours of faded blue, white and black.

Other than the main image, the only other picture on there is very small and only a headshot. It is placed in the right corner of the magazine therefore seeming less important than the rest of the features on the magazine.

  1. Mark 2 and a half out of 5
    1. Title very familiar brand to its audience therefore they can afford to obscure it partly
    2. Fair points on Bowie's prominence but could you comment on Bowies's outfit; stance; significance of Neu Decade
    3. Comment on content of cover lines
    4. You draw attention to the puffs / promo plugs
