The rolling stone is a magazine that has come out every two weeks since 1967. It focuses on politics and popular culture. I am interested in it as they always have a unique cover photo on every issue of a famous person, band, figure. I am very keen to look into more detail on the change in editing styles and quality of the editing over the years from the 1st issue to how they are done today.
The first few cover photos were all done by Poster print and were all simple, easy and basic. The editing on issue number 46 was just the text on top of a picture. This compared with the editing in issue number 217 just 7 years later has already changed to a slight crop out cut around the images of the Beatles still not done too well rather blurred and basic.
If we skip a few years ahead to issue number 810 published in 1999 you can already start to see the change in detail, not just in the skill in editing also in the background colour and resolution. It is clear to see this in the detail of the hair on resent issues such detail was unheard of in the first few issues. Even comparing the hair in issue 810 compared with issue 1132 and 1176 every strand is picked up in phenomenal detail.
