Conventions of rock magazines

To create my own rock magazine, one of the first things I needed to do was research. I started looking through magazines similar to my own genre. These magazines included; Kerrang!, Classic Rock and Rock Sound. Below is a list of the codes and conventions I found in them.


  • Eye catching fonts
  • Poster giveaways
  • Swearwords in articles
  • Contrasting colours
  • Cluttered layout
  • Language techiniques used to anchor articles
  • Continuous colour scheme throughout
  • Images of artists performing
  • Unique title
  • 2 or 3 columns of text in an article
