In this task I researched different types of punk rock magazines and the different features that are included in them that make it obvious that it’s punk rock.

I found that the different conventions of a punk rock magazine were:

• Very dark/extremely bright backgrounds
• Main title in ‘hand written’ and edgy fonts
• A modified image of the main artist mainly in the center
• The artists’ facial expressions are typically rebellious and aggressive 
• Their hair and makeup tend to be over the top and very flashy to the audience

This research will help me immensely to create and design my magazine poster to fit this style of music as I will know the different conventions that I will have to include into my poster to make it realistic. 

Here is my board from Pintrest on the different magazine covers of punk rock
