"Billboard is an international news magazine devoted to music and the music industry, and is one of the oldest trade magazines in the world."
These magazine covers really stood out to me because they all have synergy in common. Synergy is a state in which two or more things work together in a particularly fruitful way that produces an effect greater the sum of their individual effects. The two things working together here are the big, international, famous artists (Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus) and the popular Billboard magazine.
Personally, i like the fact that the pop singers cover the majority of the front page. If i saw this on a shop self i would be drawn in straight away - it's almost as if the celebrities are looking at you directly. I also like the different vibrant colours used on the various covers as they stand out and look as if they're jumping out at you from the plain background. It's clever how the producers of these magazines use "Bold" and "Italic" to show the customers/audience which parts of the text is more significant than others. The masthead's are generally the same, with a few slight variations. I think it's important to keep a theme running through magazines otherwise it doesn't look as professional and the magazine might not be able to be recognized as easy.
you have used a lot of examples! maybe i should use more!
