The Third magazine i have chosen to look at is Rolling Stones magzine. A timeless and classically cool music and style magazine which is a conglomerate of music and fashion. An immediate sexual content is projected fron the cover due to female models and their pose on the front, the simple colour scheme used on the cover of red,black and white allows the cover models to be the main focus and therfore sends a stronger message across to the customer. Direct adress is used to an extreme extent on the cover as from the main image of Gossip girl stars Blake lively and leighton meester. They are staring intently into the customers eyes. The direct use presented on this cover will allow customers to share a much stronger intamicy between the cover models. Consequently resulting in the customer to relate to the cover models , and beleive by purchasing the magazine they can relate to them and aspire to be them. V magazine's clever use of slogan's , the main one being ' High voltage' creates a strong theme on the cover. Allow it may be assumed that as the models on the front are posed provictavly , that only men are being targeted i feel women are also the target audience in this case as women can relate to the programme these two models appear in which is aimed at women and teengagers, not just men. The main heading ' Rolling Stones' is in shocking red which allows the heading to stand out amongst the rest of the cover , resulting in the impotance of the magazine title to be emphasised. The main and only image used on the cover is of two obviously attractive women , who are at A list celebrity status. By using this image a sense of class is felt from the magazine due to the cover. The mode of language is slighlty more mature than what you would find on a pop magazine , the language used for the subheading ' The nasty thrill of Gossip Girl' is intreging and appears intellectuall and relates the main image excellently.
