Double Page Spread Three

Double Page Spread Analysis Three: Mojo

This double spread analysis in unusual as it relates to something in the past. The band in the photograph, The Damned, are pictured in their younger years- possibly because the magazine's target audience is younger than the age the band is now- and showing them as younger people creates a reliability around them. 

      The mise-en-scene of the picture creates a retro feel, with the band members wearing sweaters and sunglasses that are related to the era that the band was popular.The pie on their face presents them a juvenile, fun and down-to-earth, which creates a relaxed image before the readers has looked at any other details on the page.
      The black background and the yellow title at the top is presumably inspired by the bands iconic album artwork. This too is strange as it goes against Mojo's house style of clean cut white background with a picture on one page and an article on another. This represents how the band rebels against convention and stands out from other artists the Mojo print in their magazine.
