Research - billboard Magazine Analysis

•  Latest Edition about Music awards rather than artist
• The award is for ‘Maximum exposure’- this could be a pun relating to previous music award shows where different artists have been ‘exposing’ themselves in front of thousands. The term ‘moving the needle with signature moments’ could be a reference to a seismograph, where a needle moves due to earth tremors – could be suggesting that these performance are causing tremors through the public, with ‘signature moments’ that the public won't forget, for example, artist such as Miley Cyrus. Could also mean how the ‘American music awards and other awards shows’ are progressing/ advancing in the music industry / putting pressure on each other.
• The background of the magazine is a purple curtain – much like the curtain you have at awards shows, however they are conventionally red – so could be challenging codes and conventions by using purple.  ‘Billboard’ logo bold and white against the curtain – they are using the traditional billboard font.
• Puffs of info are little – one linked to main feature, with two others including other features of the magazine – ‘over 120…best  ...’ – make the public feel they are benefitting from buying the magazine – getting valuable information that’s the ‘best’.
• Also another puff at the top – following the title – also states other features of the magazine like artists.
