KEY FEATURES OF A MAGAZINE COVER


MASTHEAD - Title of the magazine - demonstrates name of publication.
MAIN COVERLINE - Also called 'sell lines', they are usually no more than 5 words and are a quick summary of the contents of the magazine.
BAR CODE/PRICE/DATE - Essential information for both the buyer and seller.
MAIN IMAGE - To display that the band Enter Shikari are the main focus of the magazine - this may demonstrate to the audience that this particular band have a large interview/role in the contents of the publication.
COVERLINES - Not as important as the main coverline, these act as small indications of the contents of the publication (what else is found inside)
