02 MUSIC: MOJO COVER 2017

How representations on magazine covers reflect the social and cultural contexts in which they were produced


  • Claims they are the biggest UK music magazine
  • For those truly obsessed with music. 
  • Claims that the MOJO magazine is the music expert
  • A magazine of high values and integrity
  • Claims that if your featured in one of their magazines you matter
  • Carefully crafted music archive
Sex Pistols Information

The Sex Pistols were a punk rock band that were active between 1975 and 2008. They were a very loud and in-your-face band that did what they want regardless of how society portrayed them. The Sex Pistols were controversial band as they did many things that were considered socially unacceptable such as swearing on TV and slouching and singing songs about controversial things happening in the world. The group would sometimes refer to themselves as being anarchists and rebelling against the state. They brought a very harsh and rebellious mood to the music industry that before-hand had never been seen before. 

In the MOJO magazine cover they use two main colours, acid yellow and hot pink. This is because they are contrasting colours and the album 'Never mind the Bollocks' had the Sex Pistols in hot pink with an acid yellow background. This means if a Sex Pistols fan walks by the magazine, they can tell its about the Sex Pistols as the colours are quite prominent of the cover.

On the cover, above the magazine logo, there is a sneak peek of a article about the Allman Brothers. The position of it is very important as it is above the logo which means the article is important. The Allman Brothers was an American rock band formed in 1969 founded by brothers Gregg Allman and Duane Allman. Duane Allman died 1 month before his 25th birthday, however, the band carried on.
