Rolling Stone Music Magazine Annotation



  





Rolling Stone Magazine

  

The masthead it self holds a lot of semiotics for me to discover, the masthead is one of the main parts of a magazine as it holds the main image of the magazine itself. So that is the visual part of semiotic system.  The main feature article photo is another important thing, you can tell what this magazine will involve, and from my own knowledge I know that ‘Wiz Khalifia’ is a Hip – Hop artist so I now know that this music magazine will mainly about the genre ‘Hip – Hop’. The target audience of this magazine will most properly be aimed at the people who listen to rap and hip – hop styled music and to maybe the younger generation who are more stereo typically into this sort of music style.  Plugs are a very crucial thing within a magazine, e.g. they draw you in even further, and they purposely make the text linguistic to succeed in this. Connation’s are used in this magazine but not over the top, for instance, the ‘new faces’ text suggests a small connotation of making the reader want out find out what happens.
