Mojo Front Cover

MOJO Front Cover:

The Mojo magazine front cover is mostly made up of three different colours; these colours are black, pink and white. These colours are all contrasted together in order to make them work together in a number of ways. Black is used quite a lot in the front cover and is used for the background colour of the magazine; however it is also used for shading of texts boxes and for some pieces of text. White is another colour used a lot and is used for the title; this is effective as it stands out against the black background. The white colour is also used for other bits of texts and for the shading of text boxes. With the uses of the colours white and black it makes the magazine cover look quite scary and mysterious however by adding the pink its helps to make certain information and pictures stand out.
Each one of these are also used within the two main pictures that are on the front cover. The first main picture which makes up the background and is placed along the middle section of the page which is of the band Sex Pistols is in grey scale, however the lighting of the picture makes the men’s faces look white, where as the along and around the men and they body are quite dark.
In the second picture which is just over the left hand bottom section of the page going in to the middle uses all three colours to make represent different parts of the person faces. For example pink lips, white face and black makeup around eyes.
Both of these pictures including the three little pictures along the top section of the front cover page are all medium shots close up shots, this uses of camera angles helps to add more impact as the images of the men look at is they are looking at you.
As a result of the layers it make the main picture which is the picture of Sex Pistols look as if they have there heads coming out of the magazine, adding more power and effect to the front cover.
