1. Task 4 - The specific music magazine which I might like to
emulate/base my magazine on would be Billboard.
Examples of billboard front Basic information/facts about the
covers which I like: Billboard magazine:
• It was founded in 1894.
• It is issued in over 100 countries (which makes it one
of the most popular music magazines ever)
• UK circulation is 16’327
• It is issued weekly ]
• The first ever issue was released on 28th May 1894.
• In 2008 achieved a circulation of 18,385.
• The target audience of Billboard is mostly in the
USA , the magazine is also published in the U.K.
• The frequency is weekly.
• The first issue was published in 1894.
• This is the worlds biggest and most influential media
brand.
• Billboard is intended for music professionals, such
as record label executives, artists, music retailers,
and radio DJs. Although it is generally considered
a business-to-business magazine, it can be found
at many consumer bookstores and magazine
stands, particularly in cities with a large music
industry presence such as New York, Los Angeles.

2. Examples of billboard contents pages
which I like:
I like the look of these contents pages
of the billboard magazine because
they are simple but also stylish. They
look appealing to males and females.
The colours on them are very adult like
and serious. What I also like about this is
that it doesn’t look childish at all so it
will attract only teenagers and adults.
There is always 1 main image and 3
other small images which makes it look
more interesting so that readers
wouldn’t get too bored with lots of text.

3. Examples of billboard double page
spreads which I like:
I really like the look of these contents
pages as they all have a big image
which takes up around 50% of the
double page spread. The font is very
stylish and small which makes it look as if
its for grown up people and not children.
The colours are usually bright which
makes the article stand out and it looks
more appealing.
