The clothes used on the people in the image is very old fashioned and brings out the classic feel of the magazine. The image used is black and white and has a classic rustic feel to it, connecting with the genre of classic rock

Language

The text shows all the story lines and and the numbers are made bold to show where they are in the magazine. The tone of the language used is very relaxed and informal.
