Billboard contents analysis

The logo is in the top left hand corner, on most pages to show consistency of the magazine and to make the reader remember the name. The magazine is larger than A4, as it is wider, this could be because it may be printed on a different type of paper. This magazine has an extra column of print which differs it to a British magazine. I can imagine that the colours are slightly different to the front cover, as from looking at examples of the cover page I have noticed that the background on the front cover are usually linked to the type of genre the artist is representing. The black and white, are basic tones, they connotate simplicity, and the grey and blue work well with the white and black because they're calm and they add sophistication. The contents page looks to be a template. There are 4 pictures on the contents page which represents some of stories in this issue.
