Here are two mastheads of rock/alternative magazines. As you can see they are quite similar in terms of colour scheme, Red, white and black and it is used in the same order in both. This is true for quite a lot of alternative/rock music magazine mastheads which maybe because the colour red connotes for danger, bad and power which most rock songs are about meaning that the use of the colour red is very fitting. Though both these magazines have the same colour scheme for the masthead, the typography used is clearly different. The font used for the NME magazine is bold and prominent which relates to the kind of artists NME features which is more heavy rock than the rolling stones magazine. From researching alternative/rock mastheads I can see what commonly features on it and so when I come to create my music magazine, if I do decide creating an alternative/rock one I know how to create a successful masthead that relates to the genre.
