The main shot of the photo is of an American hip hop artist named “JAY-Z” his smart, posh style that he is wearing symbolizes the wealth of him and as the main shot on the cover is looking straight at you this suggests that the magazine is suited to you like the posh suit is suited to the artist ”JAY-Z”.

The font that the title is in suggests that the text is rolling as the “R” rolls underneath the “O”. The rolling stone magazine can suggest that the magazine is open to everyone as it rolls around. As the main shot covers part of the title this can suggest that the magazine authors are confident with the magazine that they do not need to show the full title.

The same font is used around the whole of the magazine with a red elegant title and other information upon it in capitals, in black beneath it. All the text does not obscure the main shot apart from parts that are not as important, as the hand which bears a large gem incrusted ring. This ring is a “pinkie ring” which helps with the title in the bottom left which says “JAY-Z ADDICTED TO THE GAME” which may suggest that he is a “PIMP”
