Billboard Contents page Analysis


This contents page contains four pictures with a lot of writing. The contents page is split up into different sections which makes the magazine look neat and modern. It also makes the contents page more organised and easy for the audience to find what they are looking for.
They have also added numbers on pictures to indicate where which page it is on. Some pictures themselves don’t have labels and it is hard to tell what they are there for. This is not a feature I like in their contents page because it would frustrate me to not know what is happening on that page.
The colours used on this contents page is very bright and vibrant. There is a mixture of colours spread around the contents page to make the page less dull and boring.
The same font is always used on the cover in the billboard title and then it is carried onwards into the contents page, emulating the house style of the magazine and connoting its simplicity.
I personally like that they have added the Billboard logo in the top of the page above No1 on the charts. The font used for No1 and Contents makes the page look new and modern. This is because it contains the slices cutting parts out of the letter.
Overall, I like how Billboard split up different sections in a really simplistic and modern manner. I like how It is not in a traditionally manner with one picture. Instead, it has more than one picture with three small pictures and one main picture. I will be incorporating part of the design from this contents page into my own magazine.

Hip-hop Styling

Clothing Hip Hop artists usually wear consist of a tank top, baggy jeans, glasses, a hat and jewelry (gold chain, watch Etc) - stereotypical. Some have tattoos on their arms and some wear suits when in a fashion shoot or in public. In these pictures, most of the famous hip hop artists are not wearing the stereotypical clothing. Some are wearing a suit, a leather jacket and casual clothing. Snoop Dogg is wearing jewelry with a gold chain around his neck. This is a casual look for Rappers and Hip-Hop artists.
