Summary of Research

Through my research into rock magazines, I have found that this genre of music will typically include:

• A 3 way colour scheme, with a fourth colour used to highlight particular areas.
• A capitalised masthead in sans serif font.
• A main image of a popular band within the chosen sub culture looking directly at the camera.
• Cover lines and reversed out cover lines to give the cover variety and depth.
• A large image dominating the contents page with the actual content listed in a box to the side.
• A lot of small text on the double page spreads with one large image and a few smaller ones.
