2. These are some of the magazine covers in which links with my chosen genre of my own
magazine which I wish to produce.
This links as the front cover is not overcrowded with images of different artists and text. It is
limited in information and images however still attracts the reader towards the magazine.
The main image itself is also a medium close up, which fills a majority of the page itself. I plan
to do this on the front cover of the magazine which I will produce. I like this because it looks
professional and, depending on the artist, sets the genre and theme of the magazine.
I will also use the layout of the ‘magic C’, as used in the first and third image, within the front
cover as it looks approachable and not too busy and overcrowded.
3. The Publisher of Billboard magazine…
Howard Appelbaum:
•The current publisher of Billboard magazine is Howard
Appelbaum, whom took over the position when previous
publisher John Kilullen retired in 1998. He is also titled vice
president of the magazine.
•Howard Appelbaum makes a suitable publisher as his
leadership has raised the magazine 300% in profitability.
•As well as this, Howard has managed literally all aspects of
the Billboard magazine business, some of which are editorial,
charts, digital and mobile initiatives, advertising sales, and
face-to-face events.
By this research, I have come to the conclusion that Howard
Appelbaum is a suitable publisher for my final magazine. This
is because he has good leadership and meets all the aspects
of a publisher for this particular magazine and has maintained
the magazines popularity with the target audience/s and is
successful.
