Now, I will be talking about the actual target audience/demographic for Rolling Stone magazine as well as their main purpose for the magazine and other details. https://www.srds.com/mediakits/rollingstone/demographics.html The website above shows the demographics for Rolling Stone, and these are the demographics: As can be seen, The main age groups that read Rolling Stone magazine are ages 18-24. In terms of gender, men tend to read it more than women. This comes from a report back in 2015-2016, so the demographics have probably shifted a bit.  https://www.similarweb.com/website/rollingstone.com#alsoVisited This is another website which basically shows the analytics for websites, and here it's showing them for RollingStone.com . Interestingly, it shows which categories visitors of RollingStone.com are also interested in, and the category with the most popularity is Arts and Entertainment, more specifically Music and Audio. Therefore, it shows how most of the peo

In this blog post, I will be talking about the brand identity of Rolling Stone based on all of my previous research done on my other blog posts. I will commence with the cover page of each issue I used. The cover of magazines can tell a lot about their audience. The Jack White Rolling Stone cover, for instance, shows that this magazine is targeted at individuals in their 30s and who are rock fans... ...while the Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau covers add on to the common Rolling Stone demographic by showing how the magazine is targeted mainly towards Democrats (as can be seen by the article titles, such as "The Madness of Donald Trump" accompanied by the political cartoon drawing/sketch) Therefore, as far as the covers go, they suggest to me that Rolling Stone magazine is targeted towards individuals in their late 20s/early 30s, Democrats, and mainly Rock fans (tend to be white non-Hispanic males). Also sometimes has articles on Hip-Hop/Rap artists and Po

P.S. I don't know why but i finished this December 6 but it saved as a Draft and not Published. My fault I'm sorry. Now I will be discussing some of the codes and conventions for the Feature Spread of each Rolling Stone magazine. Right off the bat, all the feature spreads are laid out across the same two pages (Page 32-33). This is probably so that readers can always know what pages to go to if they wish to see the feature spread. Now we can start to see some differences between the 3 different feature spreads. First and foremost, all of the feature spreads for the magazines are a continuation of the cover of the magazine except for the Justin Trudeau Rolling Stone magazine, which has a feature spread with singer Khalid: When making my magazine, I probably won't be doing this, and instead my feature spread will reflect what is on the cover of the magazine. Now, I will discuss the types of images used for each of the feature spreads (camerawork

Now, I will be talking about the codes and conventions of the Table of Contents page on each of the three magazines. The first one is the Jack White Rolling Stone magazine, the second one is the Donald Trump political cartoon Rolling Stone magazine, and the third one is the Justin Trudeau Rolling Stone magazine. I will also talk about what aspects (codes and conventions) of the Table of Contents page I like and will keep in mind when designing my own magazine. To start off, there are already some differences in each of the TOC (Table of Contents) pages. While the Meek Mill TOC page has the Main Image and the TOC seamlessly put together... ...I prefer the TOC on the other two magazines much better, since it is just more simplistic and basic (Where there is a clear separation between the TOC itself and the main image). For example, the TOC with Khalid: As can be seen, how the image and text are arranged is different between the Meek Mill TOC (all text is aligned to the
