Textual analysis front cover 03 - rolling stone

The front cover of Rolling stone magazine is very raw in rerms of the feeling it evokes. The model (Robert Downey Jr.) is facing the camera, he is wearing an orange jumper with the hood up. It is very simple and plain which makes it look like he's going through a rough time and cannot afford or be able to wear nicer clothes.

His chest hair is on display and his beard is roughly shaved backing up his hard done by appearance. His facial expression is a small frown backing up the feeling of him having a severe experience. The title says "through hell and back with Robert Downey Jr." which is very bold making the audience take a step back almost in surprise.

The text is quite hard to read in terms of it's style but the colours help against the orange background.
