Front cover analysis 3

MOJO magazine front cover analysis

I have analysed a front cover of MOJO magazine featuring Madonna. I have outlined major magazine features such as the Masthead, the colour schemes and the context of her poses. Her pose with her mouth open and the cross accessory mimicking a religious relic plays with the belief in god and the contact with Satan. The word confessions is on the cover page which implies that she has done wrong. The licking of the cross could depict the mocking of god rather than the worshiping of him and could suggest she is working with the devil but only pretending to be good and pure. This image plays with sex appeal in a different way to nudity. It works on implications and connotations rather than what meets the eye. 

I am planning to use the monochrome colour scheme on my magazine front cover sticking to the indie genre. And I prefer the idea of implied sex appeal rather than outright sex appeal however this would be difficult to capture in my own way and may not be suitable for the images and style ideals of my models and created artists, therefore I will not be using this in my own magazine creation.
