4. BILLBOARD Magazine
My magazine front cover is mainly inspired by Billboard
magazine as it follows the same music genre. I have
followed many conventions of this magazine.
• Having the masthead at the top of the page behind the
model.
• Filling in the holes of the letters with block colour.
• The background of the page being a block colour instead
of having a back drop.
• The model being positioned in the centre of the page.
• Story hooks are placed around the model.
• Placing the main story line across the model.
• Including the barcode on the front page instead of the
back like other magazines.
