Music magazine front cover research.

I decided to follow up my initial research of magazine front covers by looking further into them. This time I orientated my research around music magazine front covers, looking at genres of music that reflected that of my chosen genre of Metal-core.

From this research I have found out that magazines around the Metal-core genre conform to the standard conventions of lay out of the front cover. This includes the position of the mast head, as well as use of cover lines and subheading. The key image is also used similar. However these magazines also use a similar style of font. They seem to use fonts that look worn and used as well as rugged, this is to reflect the genre of Metal-core as it is rugged and loud.
