The Features of a Front Cover

During a lesson of media, we learnt and studied about the key concepts and terminology used for the front cover of a music magazine.  The main concepts of a front cover would be a; Masthead, Main sell line, Subheading, Sell lines, Essential Info, Main image and Colour.  These concepts are important when coming to creating a front cover for a music magazine as these are the key things that will grab a readers attention and will draw them into buying it. Front covers are the front line in an increasingly competitive market place, meaning that each brand of music magazines try their best to become the most popular seller. Mise en Scene also makes a big impact on capturing an audience and making a difference on how they feel about the front cover.
