This is a poster of
Neil Young that recognizes him by placing him in the centre of the picture,
giving him significance. He is intended to appear friendly, compassionate, and
sweet but not to crazy thanks to his tiny smile. Due of his long hair, he is
made to appear hippy and alternative, as not many males have long hair. The
vivid golden hour sunlight adds to this, emphasising how laid-back he is and
how relaxed his music and attitude are. The musician is made to appear
important since he is in the exact centre of the screen, drawing our attention
to him right away showing his confidence and pride. In the background, there
are also azure skies. here are also blue sky in the background, implying that
he is a happy individual listening to lively music. The red/orange lighting on
Neil's face is attractive to the eye, as it complements the red letters used
throughout the magazine. Another image of an elderly man with a grey beard can
be found here. He appears to be ordinary and uninteresting due to the use of
dreary colours such as grey, black, and brown, as well as the plain lighting
and the darkening of half of his face.
The cover is quite busy, with a lot of information that is
'right in your face.' Neil Young is written in the largest type, implying that
he is very essential and a vital aspect of this publication. The texts are
well-organized and to the side; none of them conceal his face; instead, they go
behind him, emphasising his importance. Most music publications have around the
same number of cover lines as this one, but not all of them are as
well-organized. "When the music calls, you go with it," he says,
demonstrating his relaxed demeanour and willingness to go with the flow.
"From harvest to barn: in his own field" This demonstrates that the
magazine contains some humour because it is a pun about harvest. field of his
own" suggests that he may be unconventional, with his own style and genre
of music. The major colours are yellow and black since the lighting is
yellowish, and the font is yellow and red to complement the lighting. Because
there is little of it, yet enough to appeal to the naked eye, the accent colour
is orange and black. There is a cover mount on this, which isn't usual of mojo.

ReplyDeleteGood work.You understand that the star is represented very positively. You could add that he is making direct eye contact. The cohesion of the design is partly because there is control over the number of different colours so that it remains looking orderly; the cover lines are grouped and justified to the RH side.
A cover mount (a free CD) is typical.
