There are a multitude of different music genres out there today, with some being more popular than others and many having several music magazines to promote and provide information,news, tour dates etc specific to that genre.
This is an example of a Kerrang! front cover, this magazine caters for those who listen to metal/heavy metal, which is my personal favourite. Kerrang!, to tie in to the heavier music genre, uses darker colours, often featuring a central image that partly covers the masthead (such as Rammstein in the issue above), supported by smaller images portraying some of the other bands featured in the magazine.
Above are examples of the magazine Rolling Stone. This magazine doesn't really dedicate itself to one genre of music, and sometime no music whatsoever. As you can see above, the first example features Grunge legends Nirvana, whereas the second features The President of the United States, Barack Obama. In relation to the music based issues of Rolling Stones, they tend to have a huge spectrum of genres, from metal artist Marilyn Manson to more pop artist Katy Perry.
This is an example of the music magazine NME. this magazine tends to focus on 'Indie' genre. The issue above features 'Florence and the machine' and depicts a typical cover of NME, with one central image surronded by text, with possibly one smaller image.
Above is an example of vibe, whose genre is quite evidently Rap/RnB. This issue above features Eminem, a prominent rapper, and is also an example of a typical cover of Vibe, featuring a mid shot of the artist, with text filling the space surrounding the image.
