Rock music focuses on the darker side of life and rebellion against rules and social norms. It uses common symbolic imagery like skulls, guitars, drums, roses and other icons. The magazine represented the rock genre through these symbols and images associated with rock music, as well as how the characters were dressed in a rock style. The ideologies of rock music have changed over time but still include themes of having fun, finding yourself, and fame. The magazine's design followed theories of conforming to audience expectations of the genre while also adding new elements.

21. Ideologies Having Fun Rebellion Finding yourself Fame and Fortune The ideology of Rock music have change frequently over the years and this has had a massive effect on the number of rock music enthusiasts.

22. Theorists Steve Neale (1980)- His theory that all genres are instances of repetition and difference fits my magazine as my magazine is different to the other types of rock magazine. Douglas Pye- My magazine followed his theory of conforming to the audiences expectations as it includes alot of the classic rock music symbology but also breaks it as it is more about the instruments used then the musicians that play them. Tom Ryall- My magazine met with the conditions of his theory as it follows the original conventions of Rock music but with a few small changes.

23. Audience Audiences expect their to be skulls and musical instruments in a Rock music magazine and so I added alot of both and I also added the correct colour tones to the magazine.
