Analysing Magazines


Rolling Stone Magazine
The cover is not very busy but includes:

Masthead; which is at the top of the page along with issue number, date, price and the website.
Central image of Katy Perry; which takes up the whole of the page, is the main selling piont of the magazine.
Title; Sex, God & Katy Perry, which is also a main selling point.
Plugs; Michael Cera, Aerosmith, Arcade Fire, Sting and How Wall Street Won are also selling points.
Colours used are Grey, pink; pink makes the cover seem innocent, and black, the Grey and pinks adapt well with the image making it softer and a bit girlie whereas the black makes the title standout from the central image.


Layout- the article has a set amount of columns throughout, which here is three.
The image used here fits around the article and also helps the reader relate towards the information used in the article.
The quote is used to help break up the text used in the article. 
The Banner across the top of the article relates to the article, with the line Katy Perry.
