MOJO’s double page spread’s layout is fairly basic yet
extremely effective. I like the way that the image is on the left hand side,
then on the right is a large sub-heading taking up half of the page, leaving
the other half for two columns of article. Having the image of artist Marc
Almond on the left hand side standing alone in a studio space reveals his
personality whilst connecting to the words from his article for example ‘eternally
bruised’. The black and white mid-shot of the artist, with his hands behind his
back and him looking directly into the camera, exposes a lot of his emotions,
letting the audience in and encouraging them to want to read about him. He has
a variety of tattoos on show with some also vaguely visible through his shirt,
this connects with the genre and audience of MOJO being electro-pop and also
targeting their older rocky audience of around age 30 plus as he has been in
the industry for a while. Although his arms behind his back could suggest he is
vulnerable he is slightly smirking, revealing a sneaky and manipulating side he
may be known for.
The colour
scheme is basic, mainly black and white with some grey to highlight certain
points for example the artists name and the extra featured box at the bottom.
This is effective and related to the artist and image, it has created a unique
rocky theme which is slightly peculiar used to shock the reader and draw them
in.
