Music magazine front cover

This picture is the front cover of an issue of Mojo music magazine. What's striking about it is the contrast in colours, with the main picture being in black and white while the writing mostly consists of a vibrant red. Red connotes love, blood and passion, and the fact that this is used in correlation with the picture of the male artist implies that his music covers similar themes.

The name of the magazine is identified by having the largest font, being placed at the top of the page as well as being the only one with a 3D depth to the design. Another piece of text that sticks out is the word 'cash' in the middle of the page, due to it's similar size and sharp contrast to the black in the foreground of the main picture. This fact that it sits just below the artist suggests that this is either his name or is part of some kind of reference directed at him.
