Every musical genre has accompanying ideology, for instants.
When looking at a magazine front cover you can tell instantly what the magazine will be about.
For instants you can see that this magazine is a rock magazine by the mid-shot photo of the band on the front not only are they all wearing black which is often seen as a colour of rebellion. They all have a serious face and have black eye-liner on. The colour scheme throughout this page is black and red. The colour red give connoatations of danger, rage, anger and leadership. Rock music has always been seen as being aggresive, loud, sexual, literal, always about drugs and alcohol, unhappy and appear to be less concerned about professionalism. When you look at this magazine you are overwhelm with the sell lines. This gives the image of them being not so conscious about neatness. The bold text make the magazine look more aggressive.
When looking at this front cover you are not overwhelmbled by the sell lines. The Ideology of the genre 'country' is very laid back and upbeat and jolly. The colour throughout the page is mainy white and it gives a clean and tidy. There is a consistant house style, the font and page numbers throughout the magazine.
The sell lines are clear and to the point not to busy for the front cover. The reader can feel refreshed and reasured you are not going to be buying something fulled with things you do not want.
