On the left is an image of the magazine cover ‘Rollingstone’. The first thing that you notice would have to be the image of Amy Winehouse, a role model with her singing rather than her life, though this gives her chance to speak out about it as the article is about ‘The Diva & Her Demons’.

Her hair also covers the title of the magazine; this shows that the magazine company believes it will be bought even if their name is covered up because customers know the magazine by reputation so won’t think twice about what it is about.

It will also grab interest easily, not only because of the image, but the colours used and size of font. There are mainly three colours used on the front cover so it is not overloaded with different colours as this can sometimes make some designs seem a mess and put people of buying the product. In this case two primary colours (blue and red) are used along with white and a bit of black. These are good colours to use, as the genre is not really rock or pop so the colours are quite light but not what you would use if it was a pop genre magazine.

Along with these things are other parts to the cover that would attract attention, for example, the top left hand corner where it mentions tours from a range of different artists within the genre so bound to interest different types of people.
