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 shows Neil Young. The cover is very well lit and is very colourful which means it presents the person in a good way. Neil is made to look important as he is the centre of attention with a close up shot of his upper body and face. There are a few other images like the one in the bottom left which is a CD cover. This shows that the magazine is advertising Neil's music.
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 has lots of things going on as there is a lot of writing on the sides This writing is talking about all the articles inside the magazine. The cover lines are very organised and easy to see, most magazines normally have a similar number of cover lines.
What are the main colours and is there an accent colour?
The main colours are blue and a sunset shade of orange.
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.
Mark 7/10 Mostly good.
ReplyDeleteMore detail on representation in the central image is needed, such as direct eye contact, warmth of smile, relaxed look including clothing, long hair, wording of the article about him suggests a serious and dedicated musician.
The analysis of colour should include the cover lines (text)which is relatively restrained, white and yellow, with the accent of red.
A cover mount refers to the free CD.
