2. The title of the
magazine stands
out the most as it
is bold and large
so you cant miss
it.
The masthead is
unusual as it is
placed side ways
on the magazine,
this draws readers
to it as it is a
unique technique
as most
magazines have
theirs at the top
of the front cover.
The main image stands
out as it takes up the
majority of the page and
also stands out as the
colours used make a
good contrast to the
magazine overall.
The sub titles are
on the right side of
the page so this
makes you focus on
what the magazine
will contain inside,
just as your about
to turn the page.
3. The contents title is
the biggest font on
the page, this
corresponds to the
front cover as it is in
the same font and
positioning as
before.
The main image is
the main feature
you focus on
when you see and
read this page.
Her lips are pink which
may be used to draw
the reader in.
Direct mode of
address is used to
intrigue the reader.
4. In this picture she has an
indirect mode of address,
this is because the text is the
main focus of this page.
The main picture takes
up the majority of the
page which draws the
readers attention to it.
The text is laid out neatly
and orderly into columns
so it is easy for the reader
to follow whilst reading
it.
Small pictures
used perhaps to
keep the readers
intrigued and
widen their
imagination on
what they are
reading about.
5. Although billboard doesn’t
have a distinct logo this logo
and the one before (plain
black bold writing) allows this
magazine to have more
recognition. Billboard
magazine fill the letters b,o,a
and d with the colours red,
pink blue and yellow which
allows the masthead to be
flexible with each issue.
Rihanna is the main image of
this front cover. Her music
genre is mainly R&B and
Hip-hop, the use of her links
to billboard as she doesn’t
conform to one style which
allows the billboard
audience to have a wider
range of preferences to
choose from and still cater
for everyone's likes.
The use of this quote acts to
automatically grab the readers
attention. The quote suggests
she discloses this information
with billboard and only with
the magazine audience know
who she is. Readers love to
know they have access to
knowing exclusive information,
so by having this draws
attention.
The background used is
very dark, however Rihanna
is lit up as she is the main
focus. The photo is a large
medium shot which allows
her to take up the majority
of the page. The use of her
red hair is the most vibrant
colour on the page which
would attract attention to
her.
6. The Billboard logo is still
placed on the page,
however it is made very
small because it allows
the contents to become
the main feature of the
page.
The main feature
of this page is
Keri Hilson an
R&B singer. The
image of her is
quite edgy and
she is wearing a
grey dress with a
short black bob.
There colours
have a nice
finishing contrast
as they work well
with the other
colours on the
page.
These images are of
artists which are
featured to show the
readers they will be
further on in the
magazine. This will
draw the readers
attention to them to
give them an insight
what to expect. By
having these artists
gives the magazine a
variety of genres to the
audience.
7. This layout and
text makes use of
the Rule of Third
as each third
consists of a
column of text.
The main image of
Rihanna consists
of her sitting on a
large pink tank
truck. This
demonstrates her
power, strength
and current
domination of the
charts. Her
costume is funky
and army style but
she remains
feminine and will
appeal to both
genders.
