Billboard Magazine
- The main image: only takes up half the page not spread over the double page spread. This is an abstract way to focus of the spread is the image, in Billboard magazine they always focus on one artist this gives the magazine a lot of room for the text. Having Beyoncé on half the page gives the artist all the attention on her and her music. She is looking directly at the camera with a dull facial expression on her face this can relate to her being described as 'Fiercely' in the headline. A metal cage is covering half of her face this can represent her fierce personality and makes the reader interested in the artist.
- The Headline: it is 'Fiercely Creative' this is associated with her being a strong independent woman. The of the headline is large because it grabs attention and persuades the audience to read the article.
- The By-line: contrasts against the background colours to make it clear to read for the audience. The by-line tells you who wrote the article.
- The Stand: is at the beginning of the article which gives the reader information about the artist and article. The stand sets the scene fro the article because it tells you hat they have done. It also summarises the article in one sentence therefore it is a short overview. It tells us that Beyoncé was announced by Billboard 'Woman of the Year' this is an important award to the magazine and change the colour of the text so it stands out.
- The background: is not a block colour it goes from a bright purple to a grey (gradient effect). I think purple is a strong female colour and shows she is a strong female and gets across the fierceness.
