Music Magazine: Front Cover Analysis 2

The front cover of Mojo depicts all four members of the arctic monkeys in a mid shot facing the camera. They’re wearing all-black or white, which complements the background and the colour of the font. The filters on the photograph fade their skin tones, so they appear paler and compliment the cover’s black and white colour scheme. The title is also behind the band members, as to not obstruct the reader’s view of the band. 
The lead singer Alex Turner is obviously the center of attention in this image as he is the largest, with most of the other band members pushed into the background with him in the foreground. The members of the band are all in front of the main logo, but the reader still knows what the name of the magazine is. It is important not to obscure the name of the magazine if it is not an established or well know magazine.

The main title for the Arctic Monkeys is positioned in the center of the page where it is likely to be eye-catching to the reader. Since their band name is the largest on the page in terms of font, they are likely the main feature of the magazine, which is why all of the other titles for articles have been pushed to the right. 

The font is the same throughout the cover, varying in size but not much else. The white font stands out against the predominantly black and grey image. All of the text is in bold capital letters so that the reader can clearly read it. Some of the titles have captions beneath them, making them stand out even further, for example Aerosmith at the top of the page.
