Masthead- The house style of Billboard magazine is centred on the masthead – sans serif font, with colours circles filling in the spaces of the letters. Similar to most magazines, the masthead doesn’t actually have to be seen completely for potential readers to know what magazine it is, due to the iconic masthead.
The covers are colourful and striking, and although the font and placement of the various cover lines changes throughout the different issues, the reader can clearly see that they are reading Billboard Magazine.
The main images that Billboard use of their covers often compliment the colour scheme used in that issue, or they match up to the font colour. For example on the Carly Rae Jepson cover, she is wearing red lipstick, which matches up to the red font used. Alternatively, on the Drake front cover, the photo is in black and white so the font matches this.
