Magazine:

In our first Media lesson, we looked at the conventions of a magazine. We looked at many magazine covers and saw that most have the same components with very small differences.
For example, most magazines have the Masthead at the top of the magazine and a date, price and issue number underneath this. They all also have barcodes, unless they were a newspaper magazine. Underneath the masthead there is usually a large key image of something appropriate to the main magazine story and grabs the readers eye. Most also only have one main picture and very few had more than one picture crowding the front page. Somewhere around this image will be the strapline that relates to it and cover lines to get the reader interested generally spread around the front cover. Most also have a bright colour design to catch the readers attention.
