1. Artist text: I like
the font because it
shows variety however
I feel that this text
is too small
considering it is
relating to the main
issue.
Title: The font Billboard
uses is very simple and
sophisticated however the
use of colour within the
letters gives a younger vibe
to the magazine which suits
it’s target audience of 1626.
Artist image: I really
like the image layout for
this cover because it’s
eye catching and stands
out from the background.
The cover photo is
different from other
magazines which have plain
white backgrounds which I
think is successful. The
positioning of her body is
well thought out because
there’s enough room at
both sides to fit text.
Subheadings: I think that
this stands out too much and
would distract the reader
from the centre image. I
think it would’ve been
better if the artists name
was placed here so that it
is all centred around the
same thing in stead of being
slightly “cluttered”.
Extra information: This piece of text
compliments the magazine because it gives
the reader and insight into what else is
going to feature. The style of the text
used throughout varies however a colour
scheme is kept consistent which makes the
magazine professional.

2. Contents title: The font
used for the contents
title is different and
interesting. It looks fun
but still sophisticated
and not childish.
Extra information: I think the
“in every issue” idea is a
good thing to do because it
informs the reader with things
they can expect in the future
to encourage them to purchase
every issue. However, I think
to make this section more
useful, a “Subscribe” box
could be added so that readers
can sign up to receive issues.
I have noticed that many other
magazines have this feature
and I think I will include
that in my magazine even
though I like the layout of
Billboard.
Title: The magazine logo is
used throughout the magazine
which personalises it.
Sub images: This gives the
reader a clearer view on
what’s inside the
magazine. I think this
makes the contents page
more interesting with the
images as it’s not all
plain text.
Artist image: The
largest image on the
page is what the
magazine mainly focus’
on which is different
to the text on the
front page which is
smaller. I like the
style she has as she
stands out from the
rest of the contents
page which has a darker
colour style.

3. Quote: This quote is repeated on both sides of the double
page spread. I think that when the reader sees this they
will be intrigued to read as it’s such a powerful
statement. In my magazine I am going to create a
description like this of my artist to give a positive
vibe.
Heading: The font used
for this heading is
very striking and bold
which I think is
relevant to what the
article is about as it
reflects Beyoncé as a
person in my opinion.
I think it’s
successful when a
magazine tries to base
the style on the
artist they are
talking about as the
readers will be able
to relate.
Artist image: As I
mentioned in my Q
magazine research. I
like that the image
takes up a full side
of the double page
spread because it
clearly separates
the text from the
photograph to give
distinctions for the
reader. With too
much text on both
sides of the spread
it could seem
confusing and too
lengthy.
Background: In my opinion, I think the
pink background is too much and creates
a distraction. I feel that the colour
doesn’t match the rest of the magazine
and the image on the opposite page. When
I’m making my magazine I think I am
going to stick with a plain white
background to avoid this distraction.
