Front Cover Analysis The 'Top Pops' magazine's main image is of Rita Ora. She's a famous pop singer, so her presence in this magazine come's to no surprise. The photo is a close up of her upper body to her face; however most of her body is covered by text or other images making her face the most clear and emphasised part of her body. This is probably because her face is most likely the most recognisable feature of her.       The rest of the cover is filled with more images and text, therefore the designers must have wanted the whole of the cover to be full of different aspects that draw in the audience, without 'wasting space' on things that wouldn't necessarily interest the target audience. Usually if more of her body was shown, it could be used as a form of voyeurism, interesting an audience for that cause. However, the bright colours, fun fonts, young/girly slang lang and smiling celebrities on this cover te...

Mojo Representations  Mojo Magazine  The front cover of this mojo magazine consists of very plain colours. Black is the main colour,  followed by white and grey, with the occasional pops of colour. A black and white close up of a male celebrity is on the main image. He has a very neutral, emotionless facial expression. Males are often represented as emotionless and strong people who could tolerate anything. This means that this is adhering to the dominant representation of men in the media, and the stereotype that men don't express emotion.  Only white men are shown in this front cover. This is representing rock music as a genre that only white men can take part in. This is interesting, since rock music emerged from blues, ragtime, gospel and jazz that originate from the African-American slaves in the 19th century. This is implying that white people are superior over other races and ethnic groups. Rock musicians are people we look up to, and ...
