The main photo on the front cover is an old photograph from the 1980's, this picture is edited dramatically to fit in with the style of their music and the peak of their music career. The technicolour background fits in with their genre of psychedelic rock, and the old photograph brings a sense of loyalty to their older target audience who may remember this from when they were younger.

Mojo magazines mainly has male artists featured on the cover due to mojo having a predominately male target audience as rock is seen as harsh, dangerous male type of music and that contrasts to the stereotype of girly, feminine girls. The reflects the individual differences between men and women but enforces the fight of feminism that continues in todays society.

The front cover consists of a main image of the Pink Floyd's faces- no body- this highlights how significant the artists are that the target audience would know exactly who they are by just their face and not their whole body. The colour scheme of the rainbow colour gives the magazine and vintage feel which links also to the photo of the Pink Floyd as the photo looks aged which mirrors the rock genre. Furthermore, the rainbow colour also relates to the Pink Floyd icon of the triangle and the rainbow going through it which can connote equality and peace. Underneath the CD track the word "PLUS" is written in big so when the white men target audience take off their CD they will see extra information given to the target audience thus enticing them more to the magazine.
As well as, mainly men are featured on the front cover with only one women featured in the corner smaller than all others thus illustrating that the genre of rock is mainly viewed and preformed by males so by having them main on the front cover the target audience can recognise the magazine straight away

Q4: You have written: "A Women reading mojo pink floyed magazine may feel that the lack of women in the are down to the patriarchal society we live in and would argue that this is very past as men and women are becoming more equal. The reflects the individual differences between men and women but enforces the fight of feminism that continues in todays society."
ReplyDeleteA good point towards the end, HOWEVER we don't currently live in a patriarchal society.
Remember that the lack of women on the cover is due to the preferences of the older male target audience of the magazine.
You are right that "the society we live in would argue that this is very past as men and women are becoming more equal, but the lack of women on the cover reflects the individual differences between men and women that continues in todays society"
