CLASH's cover is very different compared to the typical music magazine cover (such as MOJO). It is different as the cover is very simple with little text, in a sans serif font which is more modern and up to date. This also cannotes seriousness with the viewer, adding to the already serious tone that CLASH has tried to create with the pictures of the musicians. With the limited text, it lets you focus directly on the musician on the cover. The musician on the cover is almost hidden by either, shadows, hair or purpose blurring. This leaves a sense of mystery with the viewer.
The musicians are portrayed with a serious tone. None of them are making direct eye contact with the camera neither are they happy/smiling. This shows, the musicians are saying you don't understand the hardships they have been through to get here and this dark image displays that tone effectively.
The overall layout of the magazine is a lot less cluttered and has very limited text. This in contrast with MOJO despite being cluttered and having much more text, it can deal with it by making sure the main musician is visible. CLASH however would struggle with a lot of text and clutter and wouldn't be able to organize it effectively, this is show by the number is tumbling down the page.
