Magazine Front Covers
L.O: To identify and use genre conventions.
- Masthead: The title on the front cover, big writing usually, attracts readers attention, identifys the brand.
- Dateline: Where the date of when the magazine was issued is written, usually under the masthead.
- Main Image: A big picture to grab peoples attention, takes up nearly the whole page.
- Coverlines: The writing you read to see if you would be interested in that magazine, the article titles.
- Main cover lines: The cover line that has the largest writing, normally the biggest story, can link to the main image.
- Barcode/Price: Where it says how much the magazine costs and where they can scan it.
- Tagline: Tells you a little bit more information of what the magazine is about, this is also to see if the magazine interests the reader.
- Quote preview: Like a sneak preview, a quote from an article in the magazine.
Codes and Conventions
- The main image is usually a mid shot or full length shot of the footballer.
- The masthead normally has something do to with football in it like soccer or kickoff.
- There is normally quite bright colours to make it stand out, I can see most of them have red but they probably have the colours of the team.
- Most have quite a few cover lines.
All of them have datelines above the masthead.
