Masthead - The masthead of this music magazine is called 'Billboard' which appeals to the target audience which are older teens - young adults, as the name suggests about music and about the charts. The masthead is also covered up by the cover model which suggests that the magazine is very popular that all the masthead doesn't need to be shown. The colours used are very bold and not that colourful as the main colour used is black with a bit of blue and yellow. This is because the colour black stands out better against the colourful pink and also the colour black appeals more to the target audience as they are older teens - young adults.
