Billboard Magazine Analysis

Billboard Magazine

This magazine does not have a Starpline. The Masthead would be Billiboard.

The image is behind the actual masthead meaning that the image is not as important as the actual magazine name.

The price of this is $4.99 as it is only sold in America. This is also written in a very small print as there are no freebies with this magazine. The barcode is at the front with the date which is May 28 2010.

The font of the masthead is really big and bold, with four different colours so it stands out. The other writing is also  in small, accept for all the main headings which are in bold, capital letters and have a colour highlight behind them.

However the main attention is on Drake, as the image is off him and his name and a little bit about him is in a big font.The main image of the magazine, which draws most of the attention is an image of a rapper called Drake. This image is the size of most of the magazine, meaning that what we can Denotate is that the image is roughly to scale as the magazine itself is an A4 size.

Denotation and Connotation

 My first image I have chosen is the Badges. The Denotation of it would be that there are three badges that their reflection opposite them.  This picture is in colour. They are red, blue and pink. They are shaped like shields that they used to use in the army.  
The Connotation of it would be that the badges mean different things for different purposes in school, like head girl, head boy and prefect.  These badges would help people who are trying to look out for them. People would have to wear these on their uniforms. 


My second image I have chosen is the Book. The Denotation of it is that its a close up  of a book with its book mark hanging out. It is piled on top of another book. This picture is in colour. The background of it  is a smooth yellow but clear.  The bookmark looks as if it has been hand made. 
The Connotation would be that in school everyone is always using them, weather their reading them or writing on them. From books everyone learns, that is the main purpose.
