The metal magazine 'Revolver' has the same layout as Mojo but obviously with different style font and size and also it is alot darker than the other. This is probably because of the audience its aiming at but also it gives alot of focus on the colourful photo and the yellow highlighted main story which is also the magazines main selling point, the big band.
The title also shows less colour with its grey style and bold lettering.
I feel This magazine also has a very good balance of colours, photos and style which all dont take away from the individual look of the magazine but add to it, the information is clear and very stylish, the colour scheme is dark but suits the music and magazine and finally the way the photo is covered but also shows over some of the things on the magazine makes it look like its leaping out of the page.
In conclusion doing this analysis has given me a good idea how to balance the metal and rock music magazines styles together without looking jumbled and confusing. I am going to test out different styles for my final magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread.

Good work Sean. aim to use more media terminology in your analysis and comment eg framing, composition, mise en scene, connotation, bleed, sellines, masthead etc
