A bar code on the front cover
Consistent house style throughout the magazine
Iconic imagery that reflects the magazines genre and sub genre i.e. music magazine with a sub genre of 'Indie rock'.
Gaze Theory:
For an indie rock genre magazine conventional imagery that is used is of 'bands' or the 'artist'. This is a band shot of 'Muse'. As you can see their fashion sense is 'indie' which will appeal to the target audience. Hair of all the band members is long and smart but 'trendy' clothing is worn. Two of the members also have slight facial hair which reflects on an 'urban' and 'cool' look.
Girls will aspire to 'get' men like this, whereas boys aspire to look like the men (attractive and well presentable/ trendy).
