Rolling Stone magazine front cover

L _The front cover is mostly dedicated to a close up image of Amy Whinehouse against a white background ,her black get up ,make up and hair make the image seem more dramatic .The masthead like the Amy Whinehouse headline are both in baby blue and the masthead is partly covered by the image ,a convention usually used but the magazine is still recognisable to the audience .The image of Amy ,is a rare one as she looks innocent and is sporting her trademark grunge look but looks healthy instead of drugged up.Using blue on Amy Winehouse's name is meant to relate to calmness and happiness and blue is the colour of the ocean and sky where both relate to this.There is an issue number and date line at the top right of the page .The main and other cover lines are down the left hand side of the page next to the image on the right. The other cover lines are done in smaller writing and use the same font as the main.'The Diva and her Demons' is written in red to represent that Amy can be hot headed ,and red is related to evil which could be her demons .The main colours used are red ,white ,blue and black.
I _The Rolling Stone magazine is published every fortnight and is produced by Wenner Media.
I_The front cover of the magazine gives the audience the idea that each week it represents alternative music ,with different artists from different genres each fortnight ,so therefore it caters for a larger audience ,the blue and the image of Amy seem like they are trying to make Amy apear angelic and show the audience she has come out stronger and has now calmed down but hasn't lost her trademark image .
A_This issue is aimed at both genders but more of a female audience ,as they will see her as a strong role model as she has got back up from her problems which many females will feel they can relate too.The age range it will appeal to will be mainly 16-24, however, as the magazine also writes about politics, it will appeal to older age groups also.
R_Rolling Stone magazine represents music in a stereotypical way ,it represents music in a positive way.
