Independent research: Key conventions

After thinking about my thinglink, I have decided to do some independent research into the key conventions that a rock magazine needs specifically. In my opinion from doing my research I believe they need the following:

• Large Bold masthead
• Main Image of a band/Musician doing a particular action
• Freebies/ Poster giveaway
• A PUFF, for example 'The uk's only rock magazine' 
• Dark colours with the exception of white, red and yellow
• Coverlines
• Taglines
• Anchor text, either of a pun or a bands name.
• Extra Images, could be of bands faces
• Main image looking at the camera. 
• Barcode, issue number, date, price

(The image below is part of my research as this is something I found on Google)
