Analyse of Magazine 2

The genre of this music is pop, as you can see clearly from the image, because Beyonce is a well known pop star, also on the strap line there are references to artists that there are stories about inside the magazine and they are all pop stars.
       The target audience for this magazine is going to be teenagers and adults, because Beyonce is known all around the world and many of her fans are teenagers and adults. Also, on the subheadings there are artists names that mainly have fans that are adults and teenagers. Adding to this, there is a kicker which is a quote from Beyonce states that she wants to be an icon, and a lot of teenagers want to be like Beyonce and want her as an icon.
       The main image is Beyonce and she is a pop singer, so that's how that relates to the genre of the music. The image is framed around the subheading and the mast head. This has a strong effect, because the magazine then looks professional, unique and attractive. The face Beyonce is included as that is good, because you want to see the artist, not just their body, because then the magazine will look boring and it would not look approachable. On the right of the magazine on the mast head Beyonce's fingers have been left out, but this is good, because, the masthead covers it and that makes it look, good, professional and it also stands out. The image of Beyonce has been moved to the side, to the right and this makes the magazine look dull and boring, because the other shoulder is missing and it does not make the magazine, look good. It just looks plain.
       Beyonce is not wearing a lot of make up, she probably has some foundation on, she does have lip gloss and some eye shadow on, but other than that there is nothing else. This has a dramatic effect, because it makes the image look boring and plain. The image is the heart of the magazine, but it looks as if the designers have not considered that. The clothes that Beyonce is wearing does not look good, she is an icon,  she is meant to look, good and sexy. She should be wearing something that shows off her body, because that's what the readers want to see.
       The colours that have been used are grey, red, yellow, blue, black and white. The grey and black stand out more, which makes the magazine look plain, boring and unprofessional. The colours do not contribute that much to the mood of the image. The mood of the image is calm, whereas the colours portray the mood as being boring and quite.
       The magazine is called billboards. This name reflects a lot to the content and the target audience of the magazine. It makes the content look as if it is aimed at old people, even though there are artists that have young fans.
      The type face looks messy, because there are a lot of them. There are some big and there are some that are small.
The copy has been placed on the right, at the top of the page and in the middle, which makes it look plain, boring and as if there is not a lot of information.
