Billboard, Front Cover, Contents and Double Page Analysis :)

• The use of popular young artists, shows the target audience to be those between 15-25.
• Billboard magazine is aimed at those who are particularly intersted in the featured artist. This maybe the reason they use very little other information other than that concerning a particular featured artist.
• However, The small use of artists from various different musical backgrounds such as Taylor Swift, Eminem, Sting and Sheryl Crow, draw in a wider audience.
• The use of the colour pink Pink symbolizes love and romance, caring, tenderness, acceptance and calm. It also gives out an up-beat, lively feel which fits with the genre of music Katy Perry produces.
• The plain background Katy Perry herself stand out. Not only this but the black writing "Katy Perry" stands out against the plain, pink background. Which helps draw in the target audiences attention.
• The flowers surronding Katy Perry draws in a more girlie audience, which to me suggests that the target audience would be females 15-25.
• The flowers also give the impression that Katy Perry is herself a girlie girls.

• The colour is simple but unlike the other music magazines I have analysed it is not the same colour scheme as on the front cover. However the colour scheme of the contents page is the same in every issue.
•  On the left hand side of the page there is a contents list devoted entirely t music and usic downloads. (Albums, Songs and This week) This layout makes the contents easier to read and follow.
• There is then a divide down the page to seperate the regular content from the features in the specific issue.
• On the other side of the divide are images of the featured articles, unconventionally there is no information just a page number, this would help draw in the audience as they would be eager to see what the articles are about.
• This side of the contents page is also split into setions, up-front, features, music and in every issue. This again makes it easier for the audienceto read.
