02 music MOJO 2017

How representations on magazine covers reflect the social and cultural contexts in which they were produced
  • Mojo magazines claim to be the worlds largest music magazine.
  • The magazine claims to showcase iconic acts.
  • Branded towards people that are obsessed with music. 
  • It says that it delivers world-class journalism.
  • It is said to be loved by its readers.
Sex Pistols
  1.  
The Sex Pistols were a punk rock band that began in the 1970's. They were known for their violent tendencies. Their array of songs included titles such as God save the queen, Anarchy in the UK and pretty vacant.
      2.
They shocked the establishment as their songs were based on aggressive actions. For one, their song "Anarchy in the UK" is self-explanatory, it means that they want the UK to be in complete chaos.  In the same song, he says "I am an antichrist". This means that the singer is portraying is saying that he will destroy everything to do with God.
      3.
The Sex Pistols logo contains acid yellow and hot pin. It is an interesting choice of colours as the clash. Is this the band saying that they clash with society? On the Mojo magazine Jonny "Rotten" can be staring right at the reader in an "in your face" manner.

    A good start . Eventually, this work will be what you need for question 5, worth 15 marks.
    1. You are right about the clashing colours which are the brand colours of The Sex Pistols. Know that they were the colours used on their album sleeve 'Never Mind the B**"
    2. Good on the stance /eye contact of Johnny Rotten.
