2. Indie Rock
This is an ‘indie rock’ magazine with artic
monkeys featuring on the front cover. This
magazine cover demonstrates sophistication as
there is a simple black and white colour scheme-this
however makes the advertisement stand out
from the page as these are in brighter/bolder
colours. This is an insight on what my magazines
cover could look like so helps my research. The
magazines masthead is basic as it has a curved
text instead of a bolder – more square one. Arctic
Monkeys are Indie Rock icons so is appropriate to
the magazines brand name and draw in their
target audience as they represent its genre.
This ‘MOJO’ magazines contents page also follows
the black and white colour scheme which shows how
basic yet effective this can be. The colour scheme also
involves red which stands out from the other colours
used. The bold title saying mojo stands out on the
page and clearly indicates what magazine it is. There
is only one image which takes up half of the page so
shows that it is the main focus which draws in the
attention of the audience. This contents follows a
different layout which tells me that if I was to choose
the sub-genre ‘indie-rock’ that I do not have to follow
a certain way to lay out my contents page.
Mojos double page spread uses columns
to structure the page. There is a larger
image taking up a quarter of the page
which draws in the readers attention, there
are also smaller images on the page with
small writing underneath so the reader can
see what the pictures are about-
