Here I have analysed a 'Rolling stones' Magazine cover which features Rihanna. There are a range of techniques in which I have found such as cover lines, a main image and the date line. In my opinion, the code and conventions are successful for the front cover of the magazine as the style of photography for the magazine really embarks the attitude in which Rihanna's fans are attracted to as it indicates her 'I don't care' attitude. Having Rihanna turn away from the camera but still gives eye contact, this direct address formulates a relationship with the readers. Also, the use of  the other cover lines allow a wider range of audiences to appealed to the magazine.
