AS Media music magazine front cover ideology

ASMedia Kerrang! front cover 

This is the front cover to the music magazine of 'Kerrang!' Which is a popular rock music magazine. Their ideology for this front cover is that it is extremely rebellious with the image of the lead singer from a rock band 'Green day', his presentation of messy black hair,thick black eyeliner, an open shirt and an electric guitar in his hands conveys that their belief is that he is a rebellion, his attitude is that he doesn't care about anything or anyone and that he is different to other genres of music.The idea is to present the magazine that it had many imperfections and to draw in an audience that want to look and be different (teenagers).
The way that the image is taken from a low angle conveys dominance in this artist as he is positioned above. Moreover the way that the masthead and sell lines are written in capital letters to portray authority and loud sound that rock music provides.
