Rolling Stones Front cover Analysis


The magazine title rolling stone focuses on the genre Rock and Pop.

The Title is big and bold so that it can stand out and catch the audience’s eye. It also helps the magazine stand out more in

They used a main image of Amy Winehouse to catch the audience’s eye and make it like Amy is staring at hat particular person. Her pose makes her look sweet and innocent, but the lead story is ‘the diva and her demons. She is actually deceiving the audience to make them think that she is a saint. She is also using a direct mode of address to bond with the audience.

One of the sell lines is ‘summer tours’, the sell line is informing the audience the time, date and location their favourite band or artist is performing. The text summer tours is in red, the red colour makes it stand out from all the other colours and may be the first thing the audience will read. Also the bright colour of red will catch the audience’s eye.
The magazine ‘Rolling Stones’ only used four colours, red, white, black and blue.

The white background symbolises her purity and relates to her current pose, her pose looks sweet and innocent but the lead story is, ‘The Diva & her Demons’. This tells the audience that looks can be deceiving and this magazine can give the audience information on her real personality.
