The codes and conventions of a rock magazine
Colour Scheme - The common colour scheme for rock magazines tends to be dark colours like black and grey but sometimes a common background colour is white. Rock magazines also tend to mix white and black colours as well as adding in a brighter colours like red or yellow for the text on the magazine cover.
Masthead - The masthead is usually in the colours black, white, yellow or red and usually is in a big bold text and sometimes uses wacky font that catches the audiences eye.
Skyline - The skyline normally contains some of the rock bands that are featured in the magazine which attracts someone to buying it and also could appeal to a bands fan base if they are featured in a magazine
Anchorage text - The anchorage text establishes why the main image has been chosen by explaining how the image is related to the contents within the magazine. This appeals to the audience as they want to be able to find out why the star is on the cover of the magazine
Main image - The main image is normally a direct image that displays the rockstar with some kind of instrument. For example, a guitar or drum sticks. Props are used because they help establish the genre of the magazine and people who like the specific genre will see what the magazine is about from the props used and therefore, will purchase the magazine as a result.
