The magazine is called Billboard. It very popular and features many artists on its front covers. Such as Miley Cyrus.

The front cover of this edition of billboard features Miley Cyrus. This is shows by a large bold white sign right in the middle in the page. This resembles symmetry. It also stands out because its in block capitals. This is very bold and attracts the eye of the customers.

Another symbol that the artist is called Miley Cyrus is that she is holding a large M. Also the way she is holding the M Is symbolic to a very powerful and highly respected young adult.

Her facial features show that she is being very serious and that she holds some superiority.

Another great element of this cover is that the way they have enhanced the image to make you look at her direct face. This direct mode of address really catches people eyes and this is what you want on the front of a magazine cover.

The black clothing she is wearing and the dull purple back ground really adds to the affect of enhancing her face and that’s the one element of the cover you are attracted to.

The small yellow writing under the bold white. Its says “the queen of tween grows up.. But will her fans follow” This is tells us that she had a large back ground in a teen TV or music industry. It is also showing that its questioning weather the teens will follow her with her new grown up act. This is a very juicy headliner and really gets peoples attention.

Overall the image portrays many factors that are related to the artist and how it tries to drag you in. For example, the statements that are involved pull large questions to the readers eye. Also the color of her clothes and how she is growing up and developing into a grown up female artist. All this is related and how it grips the reader in is all part of the questions and color and why Miley Cyrus makes for such a great cover photo.

The blue sky back ground emphasis this effect and attracts the eye even more. The advert even twists this eye catching effect around by putting the words in blue on her white top.

The artists name in bold white to stand out to the customers

The red hair is great because it stands out to the viewer of the advert. In a way it’s a trade mark so people know its her. Therefore making a similarity to the customers.

Another part of this image that stands out is the contrast of her pale face to the red hair. This also makes her seem very important and authoritative to the image. She also gives a very clear direct mode of address. This is very eye catching and great for an advert because it makes you believe that she is focusing on you and just you.

There is also in addison information on the advert to when the album is coming out and as we can see its carrying on the effect of the blue letters on the white back ground shirt. There is also information on what songs feature in the album. These songs are great to feature because they are ones that are her top sellers.

They have also posted where the album can be brought. Also the production company is on the bottom right.

The background makes a large element in this photo. As its very eye catching. The photo is very misleading though. This is because the songs are very dark such as “born to die” witch is featured in this album. This juxtaposition is great to entice the viewer. This also might be another reason she has rather dark eyes in this photo. This could represent the

The artists name is in the biggest font at the top and the center of the page.The Blue print 3 is the name of the album witch is under but in a lot smaller writing.

The center of the image is been very smartly the only color on the page. This is very eye catching to the customers and makes you want to carry on reading. It also very recognizable to the viewer after jay z has a common theme to put lines in his album covers. This makes it recognizable to the customer and comfortable because they feel a since of familiarity.

The plain background is great because it really emphasizes the red in the image. Its also really shows the name of the artist and the name of the album. This s such a great way to catch customers in to look and remember the album cover.

Here it s also some more information on when the album is being realize. It also is the same color, which makes it stand out by counteracts that by making them so small. Witch tells us its important but understated.

In the cover it also displays the record company as well. Aslo shows his website here where you can purchase items of clothing and find out about more info. Such as tour dates ect.

In the center of the image is also shows us a stack of load of different instruments. However they are hidden by the red striped and are blended in by the same white paint as the back. This could interoperate that yet jay-z is a rapper and that’s what he is known for but it also means that he puts a lot of heart and soul into it therefore making it not just rap, yet music.

Another theory is that the red stands for the rap and why everyone considers it bad and negative and to show that the music is white therefore symbolizing purity and putting these together and showing the contrast.

This is the tour photo for Chase and status.

As you can see the writing is very bold and it very distinct and colorful. This is very attractive and draws people in. The effect of the back ground also plays a key part in making the yellow stand out even more.

All the key information is in a bright yellow. This is information that they really want to advertise. It makes it very eye catching for the observer and makes you want to read on.

The center of the image in the back is a British bulldog. This infers to the observer that they are a British band.

The old fashioned back ground could take the hint of old fashioned twist to a new and upcoming electronic DJ team. This juxtaposition is great and incises anyone who knows or has herd o their music.

There is extra information is under the large and key information is tour dates to where they are visiting. Where they can get more information about tour dates and more about the band. Also where they can purchase their songs.

Their album cover photo is also in in the bottom left witch also promotes the same photo as seen in this tour dates add.

The production company is on the far bottom right. Witch also promotes them however small and where its placed.

The magazine is called Billboard. It is very popular and features many famous and successful artists on its front covers. Such as Adele.

The direct mode of address is very eye catching here. With also a symmetrical design which also attracts the reader.

The contrast of color on this page is very clear what the designs have tried to do. The black background and the contrast of the almost white color of Adele's face really makes her stand out.

The different colors around the artist really attracts you. Makes you want to carry on reading as the bits that come off the larger words look like wheat crop. This makes it seem that Adele is just going to grow and her music carrier will venture around the world.

The symmetrical appearance of Adele's face also centers her in the front of the page and looks great and attracts people. Also makes her the center of the page which is what the advert aimed for.

The way the mag says “the year in music” means that this year has been incredible for Adele and carries on to be therefore read on. This makes people interested and using such an inspirational face like Adele that people look up to.
