- 3. I HAVE CHOSENTHESE PARTICULAR FOUR FRONT COVERS TO SHOW WHY THEY ARE SIMIILAR TO MY IDEAS BECAUSE THEY EACH SHOW EMPHASIS ON FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WHICH SET THE TONE FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR MUSIC. FURTHERMORE, THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN ORIGINALITY, STYLE AND UNIQUENESS. IN ADDITION, THE MASTHEAD CONTINUOUSLY STANDS OUT WHICH IS ONE CONVENTION THAT FIRST ATTRACTS THE CONSUMER, THEREFORE, IT APPEALS TO ME ALSO BECAUSE OF THE SIMPLE FONT CHOSEN BECAUSE IT COMPLIMENTS THE REST OF THE COVER AND THAT IS SOMETHING I WANT FOR MY OWN MAGAZINE. THE FONT SANS SERIF IS OFTEN USED WHICH LOOK RATHER MODERN WHICH SHOW CONNOTATIONS OF IT BEING NEW AND FRESH WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT I WANT ALSO FOR MY MAGAZINE COVER.
- 4. THE THREE IMAGESTO THE LEFT ARE THE CONTENTS PAGES I HAVE CHOSE TO BASE MY MAGAZINE CONTENTS PAGE AROUND BECAUSE BILLBOARD MAGAZINE MAKE THE LAYOUT AND STRUCTURE IS CLEAR AND PROFESSIONALLY LAID OUT BY USING THE RULE THE CONTENTS PAGE TO THE LEFT OF THIRDS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTENTS TITLE IS ACTUALLY FROM VIBE ALWAYS STANDS OUT MAGAZINE, BUT I LIKE THE STYLE WHICH INFORMS THE OFTHIS BEING AS THE MAIN READER WHAT PAGE IMAGE DOMINATES THE PAGE AS THEY’RE ON WHICH IS WELL AS MAKING IT USEFUL. FURTHERMORE, FASHIONABLE AND EDGY WHICH THIS LAYOUT ENABLES SUITS PERFECTLY WITH THE YOU TO SEE THE FULL CHOSEN MUSIC GENRE. RANGE OF WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE ISSUE.
- 5. THE LAYOUT OFTHESE DOUBLE PAGE SREADS ARE BOTH SOPHISTICATED AND MODERN, WHICH ARE THE MAIN FOCUSES THAT I’M AIMING FOR IN MY MAGAZINE. FURTHERMORE, THE MAIN CONVENTIONS INCLUDED WITHIN A BILLBOARD MAGAZINE DOUBLE SPREAD IS THAT ONE PAGE CONSISTS OF THE IMAGE OF THE ARTIST IN WHICH THE ARTICLE IS FOCUSED ON WHICH OFTEN ENTICES THE CONSUMER. USUALLY THE COLOUR SCHEME AND HOUSE STYLE MATCH WITH THE IMAGE USED WHICH ADDS TO THE PROFESSIONLISM LOOK ON THE PAGES. IN ADDITION, THE IMAGES USED OF THE ARTISTS ARE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, FASHIONABLE, MODERN AND GIVES OUT A STATEMENT THAT THE CONSUMER WILL OFTEN ADMIRE AND LOOK UP TO.
- 6. THE WEBSITE THE BILLBOARD KEEPS TO THE MAGAZINE PROFESSIONAL- WEBSITE ALLOWS ISM AND SIMPLE READERS TO YET ACCESS FURTHER SOPHISTICATED INFORMATION LAYOUT WHICH ABOUT THE IS SIGNIFICANT. MAGAZINE THE FACT THAT ITSELF AND THE THE MAGAZINE NEWS AND LOGO HAS BEEN UPDATES ON THE USED IS CHARTS, MUSIC NECESSARY TO INDUSTRY, REPRESENT THE ALBUMS AND MAGAZINE ARTISTS ETC. ITSELF. THE FACT THAT BILLBOARD MAGAZINE HAS ITS OWN WEBSITE TO REPRSENT AND ADVERTISE THE MAGAZINE FURTHER, I THINK IT INCREASES ITS POPULARITY. THE WEBSITE IS A GREAT WAY TO POTENTIALLY PROMOTE THE MAGAZINE ITSELF TO ATTRACT MORE CONSUMERS.
