Codes and conventions of a magazine front cover.

There will be one main image (Usually a celebrity using direct address in a mid-mid long shot) This is surrounded with three to seven converlines, often accompanied by pictures to match. The Masthead is in the top left hand side and the date, price and time are often close by.The barcode will be at the bottom of the page. The front page will follow some sort of colour scheme that will also continue onto the contents page.
There is usually a range of two to three fonts, the masthead font will be unique.
