music magazine front cover analysis




- The name of the music magazine is 'Rolling Stone' although this is covered up by the picture. However this is not too bad for the magazine as Rolling Stone is well known and even with most of it covered most people know which magazine it is.
- The picture on the front cover is of Jay Z, it is large and takes up most of the front cover, the image itself is a close up of him. This works in the magazines favour as Jay Z is well known and people are more likely to buy it.
- The feature stories on the magazine are 'The best albums and songs of 2012', 'The 50 greatest hip-hop songs of all time' which is good because it mixes contemporary with classical, and so everyone is pleased. Other feature stories are 'Will Obama try to kill legal pot?' and 'Secrets of 'The Hobbit'' both bringing in different audiences, whether you are a weed fanatic or a fan of 'The Hobbit' you are more likely to buy the magazine.
- The colour scheme on the front cover is like Kerrangs colour scheme, basic and effective. The title is in red, with everything else being in black and white with a hint of yellow. This works as it gives attention towards the image of Jay Z.
