Billboard Magazine Front Cover

Billboard was my second magazine that I analysed. I chose Billboard because it is a internationally recognized music charts magazine that tracks the most popular songs and albums and relates to all genres because of the the of magazine it is.

This is the cover of a Billboard magazine issue. It is  a music magazine that targets a wide variety of music listeners as it does not have a specific genre. In the image of Taylor swift, she is looking straight towards the camera or some would say directly at the reader. This could be eye catching to the reader and make them want to buy the magazine. The image is centered in the middle of the page which is conventional whilst part of the masthead is covered buy the image itself.

The colour of the background in greyish matching Taylor's clothes which looks white. Her blonde hair and soft complexion adds to the setting of the image making the front cover look bright. The layout of the page is also simple with the subheading 'Taylor Swift Country's teen queen and her global music' going across her shoulder gives readers an idea about Taylor and what might be inside the magazine.
