Transcript of Billboard front cover analysis
Part of the mast head is covered which
shows the magazine is very audience
intended because the reader is expected to
know what the magazine is even though part
of it is hidden.
Main image is a mid
shot, the artist is
centred and looking
directly at the camera,
direct eye contact
draws the reader in
and would make them
want to buy it. The
artist covers almost
the whole page and
the magazine has no
other images showing
that the main articles
would be about her.
Cover lines: “My fans don’t really know who i am”
This would make Rihanna fans want to buy the
magazine and read the article.
Cover lines are
placed on the left
hand in case the
magazine is
displayed
horizontally in a
shelving system and
also because we
read text from left to
right. This is a good
feature of a
magazine front
cover.
Banners are used
to make text stand
out against the
image. Black and
white is used
because it is easy
to read and attracts
attention.
Mast head is
placed at the top
of the magazine. It
has block colours
inside the white
lettering ton make
it stand out which
is very original and
is a signature
trademark which
sets itself apart
from every other
magazine.
Artists name in
large lettering once
again to
emphasise that the
main article will be
about her. It is also
in the middle
centre which
attracts attention.
