Constructing Front Cover - Conventions

The main conventions on my front cover are:
  • Masthead
  • Barcode
  • Issue no.
  • Central image
  • Banner
  • House style
  • Price
  • Quotes taken from within the magazine and articles featured
These conventions have been used developed from other magazines. The masthead is bold and dominant which is common in most magazine. The barcode is featured on the front cover alongside the issue number. The central image is bold and dominant which attracts the readers attention. The banner is bold and the main colours of purple, yellow, black and grey are bold and distinguishable. The price isn't very expensive as my audience are mainly in full time education and therefore cannot afford expensive magazines. Finally the quotes help the reader understand what type of magazine it is and what would be featured in it, it would also attract the reader as the interviews featured are based around the genre of the magazine.
