History of Mojo

Mojo magazine debuted as a magazine in 1993.The magazine, in the words of founding editor Paul Du Noyer, was for something “that had the sensibilities of a fanzine and the design values of Vogue.”  It was published by a company called Emap (who published 'Q') they wanted a magazine that focused on classic rock (however it does feature some newer and 'left-field' acts). It was also the first magazine to cover the white stripes as much as older music and the magazine usually  has a free cover CD. Mojo now belongs to bauer.

I like that mojo have a strict colour scheme on every cover. The covers look professional and not totally over-the-top like kerrang! but isn't incredibly risky like rolling stones most famous covers are although, for Mojo, this could be a negative in that they have little publicity for creativity on their covers and aren't as memorable
