This is the front cover that I used to get inspiration from. Although Billboard magazine is a music magazine, the photo used has features that follow the conventions of a fashion magazine. This issue is also clearly focused on 'style' as mentioned in one of the captions.
I decided to follow the same theme and used a stool as a prop, as well as a sophisticated jacket and plain white t-shirt. Although these were not the photos I decided to use in my final piece, they were some of my favourites and can clearly be recognised as an inspiration from the billboard front cover.
