The document analyzes the design elements of a music magazine cover and contents page for MOJO magazine. It notes the use of pull quotes and bold fonts on the cover, consistency in colors and photos, and credits for photographers. The contents page uses red, black and white colors, lists articles plainly, and connects photos to page numbers. The double page spread features an interview in small font, an orange and grey color scheme, and a title spanning both pages.

5. Inspiration...
• When taking my photos I should aim to take mostly long medium
close up shots of the main person/people.
• I have found that in most music magazines; they usually give away
a free CD or calendar. I will aim to produce this when making my
own.
• When creating a contents page make sure if using pictures to
connect them to the page number used in one of your photos.
• When thinking about colours, I should use no more than three
colours.
• When producing the double page spread, I should aim to provide a
clear title and a photo.
