In Alternative rock magazines, it quite often seems

that there is a quirkiness about the artists in the main

character. Generally, the masthead is placed at the

top of the magazine, and often has the musician or

band in front of it. The person normally wears clothes

that connote rock music, so this could be skinny jeans,

quite a lot of black etc. However, since this is a sub-

bright.

magazine.

The people in the main image always look at the

audience.
