Here are several good examples of magazine front covers that fairly closely follow my chosen theme. I will use these covers as general reference when looking for inspiration. I'm going to conduct LIIAR analyses of one cover, contents page and double page spread from each of the three magazines. This way I will have an extensive and inclusive base for detailed research.
Basic conventions I can spot immediately are the use of bold, capitalised text (which reflects the loudness of Rock music); a CU/MCU of an artist or a MCU of a band in a striking and memorable pose; a short and attention-grabbing pull-quote of the featured artist that is from the article on them; diagonal text; use of red, black, yellow and white.
