Conventions of a Magazine Front Cover

Music Magazine Cover Page


Magazine Used: Kerrang!

These are the important part of a music magazine cover: Title Block of Masthead, Central Image, Headline, Anchorage Text, Buzz Words, Price, Barcode, Puffs or Cover Lines and Graphic features such as speech bubbles.
By analysing the cover page, we can easily point out the topics and subjects that is cover within the magazine. Also, the cover page is what attracts and entices a reader so it has to be properly organised according to the target audiences' preferences.

By identifying the convention of a cover page, I can also apply the same layout, format and techniques used in an existing music magazine to appeal more to the audience.
