The history of rock

Today I went to Whsmith in harrow in the store St ants and bought this magazine called the history of Rock. This magazines price was 9.99 but with some of the whsmith vouchers i had from previous purchases at the store i knocked the price down to 6.99 so it wasn't that expensive.

The history of rock is the first music magazine that i have ever bought and also will be the first magazine that i will be researching and analysing for my preliminary task. This is a rock magazine and I'm not too much of a fan of rock music but to have a wider range of knowledge i have to dive into all sections of music to get a true understanding of the genre and how the genre of music can affect how the initial design of the magazine.
This is the front cover/page of this magazine i have taken the photo as you can see proof of my hand being there.
