Question: 'How representations on magazine covers reflect the social and cultural contexts in which they were produced'.
MOJO is a magazine which gives an incite into the most recent developments in the music world. They mainly focus on rock musicians but they sometimes feature other genres. They have a main band featuring in each monthly magazine. There was a recent one on the Sex Pistols.
MOJO clearly think very highly of their own brand. Some quotes of them describing their magazine are:
"Every month MOJO brings you a definitive cover feature on an iconic act; a bespoke CD (especially compiled by the editorial team or a major musician in MOJO’s world)"
"MOJO is the WORLD’S LARGEST UK MUSIC MAGAZINE, delivering a monthly dose of world class journalism and iconic photography to an audience of extremely passionate music consumers."
"MOJO is the WORLD’S LARGEST UK MUSIC MAGAZINE, delivering a monthly dose of world class journalism and iconic photography to an audience of extremely passionate music consumers."
"MOJO is THE MUSIC EXPERT – a magazine of high brand values and integrity. A carefully crafted musical archive covering the very best of music across genres. From classic and modern rock, folk, soul, country to reggae, electronic and experimental. It prefers to celebrate quality over popularity – music that will stand the test of time."
The Sex Pistols were a punk rock band, that were active from 1975 to 2008. They were a very aggressive, controversial, in-your-face, down-with-the-establishment type band that had a large following and a large amount of people who hated them. They constantly showed defiance to the establishment.
They were a huge shock to the establishment as nothing like that had been seen before. When they went on a talk show they kept swearing over and over. As swearing was not at all socially acceptable people were shocked at the Sex Pistols' outrageous behaviour.
The MOJO magazine that recently featured the Sex Pistols used the colours pink and yellow on their cover. This was because the Sex Pistols themselves used these as their main colours.
