A magazine usually consists of different elements such as ingredients that all join together to make a successful production. These elements consist of:
- Masthead: The title used by known typography to make the readers become familiar with what magazine they are reading.
- Main Image: Typically consisting of leading artists or bands within the music genre of the magazine, to attract readers.
- Strapline: Seen as an introductory headline below the main title to give an insight into the magazine.
- Top and Bottom Strip: These are the strips below and above the magazine that give further information to what may be included in the magazine. Most probably the most interesting parts of the magazine.
- Pug: The ears of the magazine, can either be at the top left or the right hand corner of the front cover. The prices of the paper, the logo or a promotion are positioned there or even a freebie is placed there to catch the reader’s eye. When the reader is to open the magazine it is likely that they are to see the pug this of which can aware them of the positive aspects inside the magazine.
- Tag: This doesnt havent to be on the front cover but I believe that it makes the magazine more efficient as the word of phrase is used to engage the reader’s interest in a story by categorising it eg ‘Exclusive’, ‘Sensational.’
- Coverlines: The essential articles inside the magazines are started through sell lines, these are regularly seen at the right hand corner of the cover
- Left third: Contains the main feature article as this is the core part of what may be inside the magazine . It also includes the main artist or band situated within.
- Barcode/Dateline/Price: A dateline line is the published date of the magazine and the bar code is just the importance of the retailer.
- Keylight: Usually highlighting the main artist or featured lines (Coming from the left hand side onto the right.)
