Billie Joe Armstrong is the lead singer of the popular Band Greenday. He is known throughout this genre and so is instantly recognisable. His stance is suggesting of a rebellious nature with the hand pistol and the face he is making, his clothes are black which is related back to the audience as their theme colour.

Whilst is have also mentioned that the audience is very young, there is always an older element surrounding rock, which can be seen in the iron maiden sticker at the bottom.

The colour scheme represents a chaotic idea that has flashes of colour that represent a form of uprising and rebellion.

The Masthead title of Classic rock has been written in white with a black background. This is reflecting upon the idea that Classic rock is an old genre and a the black and white connote a classical and old feel around it.

The black and white image of the rolling stones guitarist also gives this aging feel around this iconic classical image. His stance suggests confidence that the audience would like to relate to.

The golden writing (Rolling stones) represents a successful state, also in general this comes with age, another reference back to the idea that this is a classical and original magazine.

Audience: Male16-40Fans of classical rock e.g. queen, rolling stones, ACDC ect. Clothing: similar to punk rock black is a feature colour, although leather jackets might make more common appearances.

The tag lines are very mild coloured gray and that once again reflects this classical and iconic image. It uses famous quotes in order to impress the readers who would appreciate the quotes.

The colour scheme is very well designed as it relates to the age of the magazine. It also means that this magazine contains old and successful content, such as very well selling albums.

Once again A Classic Rock magazine, the Mast head is the same and so has the same meaning behind it.

This specific issue of the magazine has a Golden title that Relates back to the idea of aging and success.

The image here of the band member from Metallica, is not taken in black and white like the photo from the other cover, rather this photo has been taken in sepia. This is clearly another age indication and something that the Classic rock fans appreciate greatly.

The colour scheme is very well designed as it relates to the age of the magazine. It also means that this magazine contains old and successful content, such as very well selling albums.

The tag lines are only featured in the bottom third of the magazine, working with the rule of thirds. This is so that it is the image that is featuring in the magazine, which is important when the band is as legendarily iconic as Metallica (the font of the title, also being the font always used with the band)
