These two covers for the Rolling Stone magazine are all very different apart from the masthead which is very distinctive and to this day still remains in the same font. What i find particularly interesting about these covers is how they have changed over the year. Although the masthead still remains generally the same on the cover featuring Michael Jackson shows the full masthead whereas on the Chris Martin cover the masthead is placed behind the image of the singer who dominates the cover as you can only see the "roll" in rolling and "tone" in stone.
On the Michael Jackson cover the colours seem to be similar and blend in well with the rest of the magazine. It is also very simplistic as it does not feature any other puffs that are not about Michael Jackson on the front cover. This simplifies what features within the magazine as the reader is not given any other information.
On the other Rolling Stone cover which features Chris Martin, singer of Coldplay, The front cover of this is very different and allot more intriguing as it has many puffs all around the cover. The writing used for the puffs look they are serif fonts. They stand out as the background is white and the writing is generally black. However even though they are bold they are not very colourful and intriguing as they possibly could be.
