Rolling Stone Front Cover

The ‘RollingStones’ magazine title is covered by the main image picture, this highlights that the title of this magazine is already well established and has a name for itself so it doesn’t need to be out there to be known. The way lady gaga is positioned directly in the centre of the cover makes her appear mysterious and makes you ask yourself ‘why is she just standing there covered in bubbles’. But this also reflects Lady gaga’s style as she herself is a very quirky woman with her own style so with her image wanting you to want to know more this will be exactly what she wants to be put across as it’s the type of person she is. This front cover has three specific colours of white, pink and grey; I feel this works well as it makes the cover not look too busy and gives the front cover a theme running throughout the page so it looks effective. However I think it gives the front cover a feminine look so may draw back male readers as they may feel it looks too pink, however the male audience could be attracted due to thinking she is attractive. ‘Lady gaga; is in capitals and is in the largest size of font on the page, this highlights she is the main focus of the magazine and that she is basically the reason for you buying the magazine. The stories featured in the magazine are positioned on the left of the magazine as well as the right, these are all in the same font so none of them stand out in font wise, but they do against the pink background. The list of stories are wrote differently to normal in this magazine as the list changes in styles of font from small bold writing to larger un bolded font, however all these stories are not more important than others, so I think this magazine just does this to represent the style rather than make important focus stories stand out.
