In my first lesson I had learned how to deconstruct a magazine, the image above shows my first attempt to do so. You can see the convections I had pointed out on this front cover of Michael Jackson. The font of 'Rollingstone' is serif which means that it has small decorative flourishes on the end of some of the letters, for example, the 'R'.
From an analytical point of view, I can see that the producers are trying to portray Michael Jackson as cool, powerful and bad as one of is songs is called 'Bad'. The producers purposely used clothing which contains metal chains and belts and is only of the colors black and silver. Stereotypically the rebellious popular cool youths and bikers (who usually attract the attention of girls) wear black clothing and silver chains. This gives the impression to the readers that the Michael Jackson is of these qualities.
The use of red in this case represents power, danger, glory, and strength also the black color represents mystery. The producers chose these colors to represent Michael's success and personality but mostly to celebrate his '25th anniversary of BAD'.
