Key Features of a Magazine Cover

I found this image by searching 'Music magazine covers' on google images, and then I edited this image by adding labels of key features around the image.

Masthead:
The title of a newspaper or magazine.
 
Sub Headings:
Added information referring to the masthead, or added information about other coverlines.
Cover Lines:
A heading which relates to the main story (which also matches the main images). Other coverlines, are usually smaller than the main coverline, refer to other stories in the magazine.
Main Image:
The selling point of the magazine. The image of the main story.
Promotional Give Outs:
Text on the front of the magazine which helps promote either the magazine or whatevers the main story.
Barcode (Essentials):
Essientials can be the Barcode --which lets the magazine be sold-- or other details such as issue price, date, website address etc...

  1. Leanne, you have identified the key features of a magazine cover, and have defined each of these, as well as touching on their purpose.

    Note - You may want to change "masterhead" to masthead, and you also have a few spelling errors - it would be worth going over your posts again, as you are assessed on the overall presentation of your portfolio.
