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.

  1. A great start Rafia. SOme good points made but a few more denotations and connotations to make and some greater depth in the use of media terminology.

    Terms you could have used: typography, subheading, website URL, photography (how is the image lit, what size is it? what pose expression etc.)
