Analysis of front cover (2)

Extra analysis:

There is only one main image, the lack of insert images and montages allows all the focus to be on the main image, this shows the importance she has. Another thing to show how important the model is, is the fact that she is covering some of the masterhead, even though the reader cannot see the full masterhead, some of it can be seen and the fact that the magazine is so popular, the readers can understand what the name of the magazine is, "Billboard". Conventions are following, information is located on the left half of the magazine, this is where the reader's eye focus is drawn to, therefore cleverly the information is shown here. A website is commonly shown on a magazine, normally it is small and in the corner, however in this case it is big and bold and is located at the bottom on the page, this is done to allow the reader to see that there are different ways for them to read the magazine, therefore making it reader friendly and make the reader feel like the magazine has them in mind. The bright colours and the well known celebrity indicates that this magazine is for the male and female popular between the ages of 16-25 who can recognise the celebrity.
