Conventions

  In every magazine, conventions are utilized to perfectly organize and execute the final piece. Although magazines demonstrate conventions in different ways, the following is a list of what conventions are generally used:

1. Masthead: top of the page, the title is typically in bold letters to attract potential readers.

2. Tagline: purpose is to inform readers what the magazine is about.

3.  Cover line: gives the reader insight on what's inside the magazine

4. Central Image: this image is large to attract readers and usually occupies most of the cover page.

5. Cover model: the cover model is usually a publicly known figure in order to grab then reader's attention before they begin to read.

6. Color scheme: this is significant to attracting readers and it completes the "look" of the magazine.

7. Barcode: typically located in the bottom of the cover or last page, and is utilized for the reader to purchase the magazine.
