Rolling stone magazine contents page.



L_The Rolling Stone contents page uses one main image ,and a smaller image shadowing the larger one to the left ,ensuring all attention goes to the larger black and white long shot of the two men dancing .It has a caption in the corner of the image, but also underneath has a main headline and information about what the article is about.The text for the main headline saying 'Johnny be good' is in a black bold font ,with the white undertoning therefore making it stand out more ,it is also the same font used on all the larger fonts .In the top left corner it has the initials of Rolling Stone and underneath that a sell line which is 'all the news that fits'. The contents is then listed underneath ,pushed to the left of the page ,making more room for the page to hold a larger image like the one above .At the bottom right is some information of the magazine. The main colours used are purple, black and white, which are probably the colours used within this issue.
I _The institution of the magazine is Wenner Media.
I_After the front cover ,the contents page is just as important as it is the first page seen after the cover and directs the reader to other pages in the magazine,so it needs to be interesting ,set out on the page well and informative .Rolling Stone magazines content page is organised well and is clear to understand .From the contents page above it does give the idea that this magazine does represent music from past and present ,hence the black and white image of the two old men dancing then the colour image of the younger artist Beyonce .
A_The audience for this contents would be of both genders because two images are used showing both sexes ,there is a larger image of the two men dancing ,and the smaller colour image of Beyonce ,but overall both genders are catered for ,looking at the text in the content this shows this too.
R_This particular contents page represents both the modern and old side of music ,ironic as the magazine has been around for some time so has a good knowledge of both.It represents music in a positive manner ,
