Research and Planning - Developing Ideas Rolling Stone.

This main image works well on the cover of a rock magazine as it expresses the music genre well. The flames add an extra effect and looks effective because it gives the reader something else to look at. The text located on the left hand side is appealing to the reader because it is in a place where it doesn't distract them from looking at the image itself. I also like how the masthead is layered behind the image as it shows that they have experiments with layout.
