Front Cover Analysis 6

Front Cover Analysis 6: Mojo/The Smiths

The two artists are both shown looking directly into the camera, creating a direct address and relation to the audience. The casual language of the title "We rocked", suggests a relaxed attitude mixed with a little bit of cockiness. 
      The magazine's logo is only just visible, as most of the artists' heads cover it. This shows once again, that alternative magazines put the artists before their own brand, which links to the target audience ideal of it being focused on the music. 
      The article titles an the article sublines are two different colours, and the colour scheme follows throughout the page (grey, white, black and red, with a hint of blue).The colour scheme even reaches the photograph itself, as the artists are wearing black, white and blue.

I really like the idea of having a colour scheme that runs throughout the page, and not just having haphazard colours, and I think the direct address of the photograph is a great idea.
