This is the fourth magazine front cover that i will analysis. I chose this front cover to analyse because it has that indi-edge/pop that i love. This issue of Billboard magazine features Rihanna.
The title is covered by the main image this shows that Billboard magazine is confident in their magazines and that people will recognise and know their magazine. The colours within the letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ help the reader notice that it is a Billboard magazine as this a factor that they include on every issue of the magazine. I love the element of the colour within the two letters, as this is like a constituency of their magazines, I would love to include this in my magazine, so for my magazine I will use a house style colour in the dot of the letter ‘I’. I will also be using the convention of covering a part of the title by the main image.

The other stories are laid on the left hand side as people read left to right therefore they will read these first which will instantly want them to buy and read the magazine.
The artists name is in large white font which stands out on the dark background. it emphasises that the main story is about her. The other stories that will be included on the front cover of my magazine will be also laid out so that they down the left hand side, but I also want to use the right hand side for other artist names, that are featured in my magazine.
This is a mid-shot, the artist is in the centre of the cover and is using direct mode of address to draw in readers. This tells the audience that Rihanna is the main story of this issue of the magazine. For the main image on my front cover I will ensure that the model uses direct mode of address as I believe this a great way of grabbing readers attention, I have not yet decided what camera shot I will be using for my main image but a mid-shot is one of my ideas.
'My fans don't really know who I am' this story line will make Rihanna's fans want to buy the magazine and read it. This links with the mysterious background that Rihanna is in, it helps to prove that the story line is correct, that her fans do not know who she is, which would make a reader want to read as they would want to find out. The headline for the main story is excellent to make people want to read that issue of the magazine. I would like to use a headline like this to intrigue readers and fans of the artist who is featured in my magazine.
