However it’s not only the style of the title block that is suggesting rock genre, it’s the definition of the word/name itself. The magazine's name is onomatopoeic and refers to the sound made when playing a power chord on an electric guitar. Therefore this gives a clue about the targeted audience. Electric guitars as most commonly used for rock music.
Title block colours go well with the genre of the magazine. White and black are bold and tough colours. It’s perfect for rock genre. Colours have stereotypes, so the colour choice is important and has to be based on your targeted audience.
