This is a magazine front cover of a Rolling stones magazine. I am particularly interested in the similar genre that this music magazine has to the indie-pop style that is usually featured within this magazine though the rolling stones magazine is related with rock. Additionally having the cover star of Lana Del Rey is intriguing as she as well as the magazine itself has a cross genre of music associated with them since Lana Del Rey is usually associated with indie and slightly pop music, which I am hopefully planning to incorporate within my music magazine. Furthermore, I particularly like the colour scheme used as the vibrant red used to overpower the black and white background is beneficial as it connotes to powerfulness and vibrancy and creates this idea that the rolling stones magazine stands out brightly against other competitors, which in my opinion is quite effective and hopefully I will be able to use a similar colour scheme for my magazine. More so, the photography used for the main image of the front cover is beneficial to the overall ethos of the magazine as the style of this photography creates a stunning yet relaxing to the image which is similar to Lana Del Rey’s stunning style of music but also the vibrant colour scheme reflects the artists bold and daring style of music also, which I wish to do too. Finally, the black and white colour scheme used creates a classical feel to the music which is also suggested from the mise-en-scene of the magazine front cover since the cover star is wearing an arguably simple and classic swim suit look since swim suit girls are typically related with pin up girls which were very popular in the 1950’s.
