Front Page Conventions 'billboard'

 The language used in the magazine are media conventions. The conventions used on this magazine cover are:  a large full page image this is very important and that the subject makes eye contact with the reader as it is the first thing the reader will be drawn too, one splash this helps promote something happening within the magazine, puffs, date issue of the magazine, main feature headline which is a small summary which relates to the cover image, smaller headlines promote other articles which are in the magazine. I have pointed each of these out and shown how they work on the image above. The language of the magazine cover is very important as it helps you understand what type of audience the magazine is aiming at. 
The ideology for this magazine has been created for young students and teenagers. This is because it is a 'pop' magazine and pop is mainly popular and familar within young teenagers and university students as its seen as popular music that is in the charts. It contains articles that they will be interested in and or can relate too. It advertises other pop articles on the cover for other artists other than Katy Perry (main image) which they may like or listen too.

The magazine institution is used to promote things that the audience can gain from buying this magazine.  Some of these are stated on the front cover to promote them more so the buyer can see what they could/can gain from buying this magazine. Its aim is to do this in a  'cool' 'popular' way to make the audience feel like they are gaining something.
 The audience  is what type of people the magazine is aiming to attract. In this case they are teenagers and university students as well as anyone interested in 'pop' music or just likes the 'billboard' magazine.  Pop lovers would buy this magazine because it is a magazine aimed only at that music genre and they would want to read about it such as chart updates album updates news about the pop artists such as new songs albums and reviews ect. As of the target audience being quite a large range of people the magazine would most likelybe sold across the country and possibly worldwide if it featured artists across the world.The representation of the magazine is that of Katy Perry. The magazine cover is all about HER. This is because she is the only person/image to feature on the cover and therefore she represents the magzine. The way she acts,looks and poses gives off an impression to the readers and buyers that not only is she quite confident, happy beautiful and unmodest as she is covered in flowers which also can represent happiness. She helps represent the magazine in quite a sensual way because of the way she is posing such as her body language and facial expression.
