Concepts

Whilst looking at covers of magazines I realised they all seem to have concept behind them.
Concepts are important for a magazine and the artist that they feature. This is because it suggests how they want the artist and maybe the magazine to be portrayed.


This Mojo magazine has the concept of authority. You can sense this as in the main image of Led Zeppelin, they appear to be looking down on you as if they are superior to all other musicians who see this. The concept could also translate to the competitions of other magazines to Mojo as well. It could suggest that Mojo is better than other magazines.

This NME cover has gone with the concept of straight edge and clean. This is suggested through the colour scheme of red, black and white. Even the masthead is in white which could show the magazine is clean and superior to others. The artist has a clean and tidy look which suggests she feels good about herself.
