Billboard Contents Analysis

Lastly, I will be analysing a contents page from Billboard magazine. 


This contents page from one of Billboard's magazine, is very detailed and neatly laid out. There are 4 images across the page, with one being much bigger than the others. This shows that the bigger one must be the most important, and that he is one of the main features in this magazine. 

The whole left side of the contents page is the music charts, where everything is put in order, with a few lines in the middle of the charts, in the colours that are in the Billboard logo – red, blue and a little bit of yellow. Where it says 'No.1', just above that it has the Billboard logo again, just for a little more advertisement and to remind you about who is giving you this information.  

The word 'contents' is given in an unusual font, that is also used where it says 'No.1', showing a link. The word 'contents' is big, black and bold against a white background, for best contrast and to help catch the readers eye. Just the same with the charts on the left, except it is big, bold and white against a black background. 

The writing on the contents page is split up into different sections, and is all separated to give the impression that there isn't as much writing as you think there is. There are a lot of bold highlighted parts on the contents page that show which bits are the most important, and can allow the reader to read the bold parts, to get a better idea about the topic so they don’t have to read all the writing.
