On the cover of Mojo magazine arctic monkeys are standing in a diamond with Alex Turner at the front and center showing that he is the lead singer in the band, this reminds of the iconic queen photograph from bohemian rhapsody as they are all in black and the light is focused on their faces, this is sure to grab the audiences attention from queen fans and obviously Arctic Monkey fans.
The font is a font previously used by arctic monkeys on their last album so this in a way shows that even though they look different and new they are still the same old arctic monkeys they were before their new album.
The all black background makes the magazine look very serious and professional which matches the look on the bands face and their posture which lures an audience in especially if they know Arctic Monkeys cuz they weren't really a serious band that looks like this as their previous covers for magazines have been a bit more casual, e.g.

On the inside on the double page spread that I have chosen, the magazine writer has described the feel of the new album in an almost fictional way the sense of creative writing very much intrigued me so I can see it how would intrigue others to listen to the album.
The designer has put keywords in bold colors that link with the lighting such as yellows, oranges, and blues to make it flow with the photograph.
on the photograph, a David Bowie song has been placed which will draw the attention of David Bowie fans as Arctic Monkeys new album is clearly being compared to have the feel of moonage daydream.
The word 'daydream' has been put boldly in front of them again with colors linking to the lighting, the word also links with the photograph as they are looking off into the distance as if they were daydreaming. The word 'daydream' is also a great descriptive word for the album as from personal experience its very relaxing and dreamy, and by placing the word 'daydream' in front of them makes it seem important and its also in colour as are the keywords in the album description showing that it is also a keyword.

Some good ideas but further analysis could have been offered, commenting on a range of specific examples from the cover and double page spread - such as the cover lines, the clothing worn, the content of the article etc.
