Before making my magazine front cover I decided that I should look at the codes and conventions of a magazine and what is covered on the front, although we had already done this earlier in the year and when creating our copy of the Total Film poster I thought that by looking at these again would give me better ideas for when making mine.
These are some codes and conventions I believe should be on a magazine to ultimately create a successful magazine and eye catching front cover:
- The masthead, this is the title for the magazine and usually the main thing that will attract the reader.
- Strapline, this is subheading normally underneath the title which gives an insight to what may be inside the magazine.
- Heading, this is normally in the middle of the magazine front cover explaining what the main story of the magazine is about.
- Tag, very important on the front of the magazine as this invites the audience by using words such as plus, exclusive, new and special.
- Pugs, these are used to grab the readers attention and usually placed in the corners of the magazines. Things like the prices, barcodes and logos are placed here.
