The way that John Lennon is presented on this magazine
cover is quite stereotypical of the way rock stars are typically seen as, stern
looking and ready to take on anything. You can tell John looks serious as he
has an extreme lack of expression on his face.

Most of the rock stars seen on the cover of Mojo are young
to middle aged men. The main demographic of people who read the mojo magazine
are middle aged so having older rock stars may attract them as they may have
liked their music at a younger age. Not only that but women musicians aren’t
seen as being a musician was seen more as a masculine thing in the rock and
roll world where as it’s more common to see women in the pop world.

Lastly John covers most of the cover. He is also
obscuring the main headline which is Mojo. This is so that you can see the whole
of his face and so that you can recognise him easily.

ReplyDeleteMark 7/10 Thoughtful comments on how Lennon is represented, especially your choice of the word 'stern, serious, ready to take on anything'. You are right about the stereotypes and the under-representation of women, although 2 females are represented.
