Billboard Analysis

Analysis of Billboard Magazine's Front Cover




This Billboard magazine has a colour theme of different colour blues and also white. The small amount of writing used on the front cover gives a small amount of information which is included in the issue. The repetitive use of the red, blue and yellow in the master head of Billboard on every issue cover. The picture of Beyoncé is bought in front of the master head to show that this issue is mainly focused on something involving her inside the magazine. 

This issue is very different to normal issues, this is due to the use of patterns surrounding Adele on the front cover. The colours used in the patterns are also the same colours which feature in the main master head of Billboard. These patterns used are surrounding the sub headings linking to Adele in smaller and different fonts which compliment each other well for the front cover.

 

 This Drake issue of Billboard is very different to others, this is because the use of the colour scheme of grey is used all over the front cover. In the master head, the use of the normal yellow, blue and red isn't used in this issue, but the use of small detail of information that is included in the issue is still visible just like the other two above.





Overall, I feel like the continued lack of music aspects on Billboards front page could cause a decrease in buyers due to it not clearly showing that it is a music magazine. I want my magazine to clearly show that it is a music magazine so then I don't loose out on buyers.
