cover. Dateline: Publication date often shown in months and years,
usually contains price too. Main Image: The largest image shown on
the front cover, showing its relation to the main headline and
story. Coverlines: These are at most, a sentence, to explain a
story that will feature inside the magazine. They are usually
appear smaller (smaller the size, the least importance usually,
this applies for the main cover line also). Coverlines sometimes
contain small images, obviously relating to the relevant coverline.
Main Cover line: The largest and most visible and outstanding
coverline, relating to the main image. Usually takes up a lot of
the front cover along with the main image. Bar code: Standard bar
code, on every magazine, used by the retailers. Selling line: This
is a short description of the title's main marketing point, for
example Empire magazine's selling line is 'The World's Biggest

Masthead (title, logotype, logo or nameplate) The name of the
magazine displayed in a specific typeface. This is the visual
branding of the title and is often done in a specially designed
typeface to be easily recognised and unique. The masthead - also
called a title - is usually used on the contents page inside as
well as the front cover, and as a logo for advertising and branding
purposes. Titles for leading magazines are often designed by
specialised typographers such as Dave Farey and Richard Dawson(Good
Food, Maxim, Design Week) and Matthew Carter (Private Eye).Dave

Slide 16
Elements of the cover page _____Unity can be achieved by
carrying out a common theme in the type styles, photos, story
titles and descriptions. Do all the parts work together? _____Think
about readability, can you read the type against the background? Is
the type style readable? Are the sentences too long? Are the titles
descriptive enough to make you know what the article is about? Does
the type size signify the importance? _____Does the photo or photos
support the theme? Does the photo catch your eye? Is it too busy or
too simple? _____How is your effort and craftsmanship? You will
need to be selecting, cutting, pasting and cropping. Does your
cover look professionally neat? _____Layout, how did you arrange
all the elements? Is the type all lined up flush left, right,
centered? Is the type over the picture or a background? Did you add
a banner with the issue date, web site, and cost? Does the layout
make it easy to read or confusing? - See more at:
