Drawn Plan: Cover Page

Cover Page Conventions

The photograph on my cover page will be a medium close-up or mid shot, giving the audience a sense of directs address. I’ll also be including a puff towards the right hand side of y model, which would be offering something else to the magazine such as free giveaways or 50 new songs. I was even considering to use a buzz line which is used to attract attention ,this will be positioned at the bottom right. Along with it will sometimes be the date/month of edition, price, website and issue number. Cover lines will be used to attract the audience’s attention and make them pick the magazine up and look inside. The main cover line will be the largest text on the cover after the title and it anchors the meaning of the image, I could even use a sub line in smaller text giving more information about the article. The other cover lines are going to be one or two words with sub lines explaining them. These are used to intrigue the reader. These will represent the stories inside. There are only 5 or 6 and they are positioned down the sides, framing the image, so the main image is not covered. These are going to be  the same font to create a distinctive design.
