Analysis of Billboard magazine contents page

This contents page is in a blocked layout where there are blocked pictures and blocks of writing, there is one column down the left hand side with two smaller one on the right hand side and one a block at the bottom.
The font of the main titles and subheadings of what’s on each page is serif font, this type of writing is more flicky on the edges sometimes this type of font can look feminine but here it looks more sharp and edgy, all of the other writing on this contents page is in sans serif, which is modern, and edgy, the types of font used is important as it defines the magazines image.
The main colour scheme of this contents page is white, blue, and black. This colour scheme will probably carry on through the issue. All of the page numbers are bolder than the other writing which makes them stand out more against the white background.
There are 4 images on the page so it doesn’t look over crowed which will make it appeal to a more mature audience, also when there is not too many pictures on the page the ones that are there stand out when you first look at the page and again like in Q magazines contents page the page numbers are put in the corners of the pictures so you can see instantly where that feature will be in the magazine, this feature seems to be a convention in music magazine from the ones I have looked at so far.
