Typical Content
Typical reader
This magazine is directed towards the younger audience who have an interest in pop music or whichever model is on the cover. Not forgetting readers who have an interest in celebrity gossip and who is number one in the top music charts. Or a "pass along audience" could be interested in this type of magazine, a person who reads the magazine but does not buy it, maybe after reading an issue they suddenly become interested in this topic and become a Billboard's typical reader.
House style
The theme running all the way through the "Billboard's" issues are pictures of celebrities and music artists with the newest sound tracks they've recently released. The keep the same font and theme running all the way through the issue. To maintain recognition for the audience and keep the idea of bright colours and provocative models for a pop music genre.
Social groups
The main groups involved is the younger generation mostly females who like listening to pop music. However the social groups represented on the cover of Billboard is young men or women who are airbrushed within an inch of their life and wear short outfits to signify that they are rebelious and go against the rules. Their music is unique and uncommon, basically selling their music by how they look. The cover usually invloves just one music artist not a whole band. Social groups are reprented in Billboard magazine as young men or women who can afford an average priced magazine and who have a passon for pop music.
The one thing i have noticed about my observations is how each magazine no matter what it is about follows a trend or a pattern.... an idea of how models aere meant to look or how they are meant to pose. Not many music magazine focuses on the instruments or the raw talent each artist possesses but the apperance of them and how to look like them.

You need to blog your homework - copy, strapline, pug, tagline, pull quote/call out - and their definitions that you should have researched Chloe.
