My favourite Genre

My favourite genre is rock, therefore when I'm buying a music magazine I look for a black, busy magazine with rugged looking people as the main image. Such as this Kerrang magazine featuring Blink-182.

Whereas this Q magazine featuring Adele is soft looking, she has resonably soft makeup and the background is not busy like a rock magazine would be. Therefore I would not pick this magazine up because it doesn't relate to the codes and conventions I usually see on a rock front cover. 

Steve Neale said 'Genres are about spectators-text relationships', I agree with this because genres define what you're reading, so I can specifically choose a magazine all about what I want to read and not music I'm not all that I'm interested in.
