John Lennon Mojo music magazine

 Write about how musicians are represented on this MOJO cover.

John Lennon is the main focus so that the magazine can attract his fans and people who enjoy reading about him. He is very famous and will be very successful in this magazine.  

Musicians are represented as very serious as in most of the mojo magazines that I have seen there are always the musician in the middle of the front page but never smiling. They also have a light facing directly in their face. John Lennon is directly positioned in the centre of the magazine. This magazine is cluttered with information about the inside of the magazine but even having all of that information my eyes are still drawn to the picture and the album cover. It is clear that the magazine wanted him to be the main focus of the magazine because the Mojo headline is covered by him so he takes up the whole front cover this shows respect for him as they haven't covered up half of his face. They are no splashes of colour behind him it is just a simple and basic background. Most of this magazine has the same colours and there is a small bit of negative space but not as much as other magazines. This is one of my favourite magazines because it is so eye-catching and so clean in the way the cover is presented.

  1. Mark 6/10 Thoughtful comments on how Lennon is represented, especially your choice of the word 'serious'. This question (about representation) is not about 'media language' so do not write about negative space etc.
    This is a challenging question for which I have supplied answers on the class blog at the post on 25.01.21
