This is double page spread for the magazine ‘Mojo’. Its sell line on the front cover is ‘the music magazine’ which makes it seem as though it caters to all tastes however I would personally say its main music style was the classic bands and newer indie bands and singers. The fact the title for this article is ‘there’s always hope’ tells you it’s definitely not a rock magazine because normally they aren’t very sentimental. Also, the spread is about a famous signer dying, which would rule out dance style because they normally stay upbeat.

This has a different layout to majority of the ones I have looked at because it’s not in interview form and it’s not just about one man, there are quite a few different people mentioned and their sections are segregated by sub headings of their names. It also has a miniature article at the bottom of the second page which links to the main feature. The model is looking upwards which is an iconic image, and gives connotations of faith, amazement and hope, which is the main message portrayed by the spread. Again the colour scheme is very plain but there is a slight splash of colour with the gold bubble containing a quote from the main article and the small bits of information under the subheading of each different section. However the pictures are in black and white which is very classic and clean cut. The smaller feature is boxed off from the rest of the writing and is grey, which shows where one article stops and another begins.

I like how classic and clear this layout is and I actually think that it suits the black and white theme as its talking about death which is simple and sad thing which doesn’t need to be dressed up with different colours. It’s quite a simple article but I think very effective.
