FRONT COVER

INSPIRATIONS BILLBOARD

BILLBOARD MagazineMy 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.
