Rolling Stones magazine has the typical conventions of a magazine.
There is a main image which is the main viewpoint of this magazine front cover. It is a mid-shot picture which therefore draws your attention straight too it. The main image could be classed as very controversial, but in this case suits the person as we see in the pop/music industry that lady Gaga is a very controversial person therefore this image suits the person she is. The main colour of the magazine is pink and purple which can therefore effect the audience which the magazine receives, as it is a colour which is associated with girls.
The masthead is the name of the magazine 'Rolling Stone' even though the main image is covering half of the masthead, we know what the magazine is as most the readers are subscribers to the magazine and if not it is recognisable as it is a very well known magazine.
The banner headline includes the image and the line 'The rise of Lady gaga' shows the story of why Lady Gaga is on the front cover and the story behind her, the headline draws the reader in as they want to find out what the full story is. By having a famous pop icon on the front of the magazine, it then determines the audience which the magazine receives, it would range from people who are monthly subscribers too people who are interested in Lady Gaga and interested in the story behind the front cover.
The layout of the magazine is very basic, the cover lines are beside the main image and therefore make the whole front cover easy to understand and easier to read.

This is a double page spread which links in with the front cover of the rolling stone magazine. It is very simple and only contains a main 2 page image and a small amount of information. Although this is all it shows us, it is a very effective double page spread, as the main focus point is Lady Gaga we see her in her normal controversial image. She is covered in bubbles and has lack of clothing on, she is stood above the rest of the people in this image which shows her authority over everyone else there. Another connotation of this image could be that she is in the position which Jesus took on the cross, this could show her importance and as this is an iconic pose a lot of people can relate to it. The main colour of this page is pink and purple which can therefore effect the audience which the magazine receives, as it is a colour which is associated with girls. Also by using these colours this page flows from the front cover as it is all the same colour and same theme. By using the headline 'New York Doll' it shows us how relevant and important Lady Gaga is that she is being referred to as a new york doll.
