Conventions of a Magazine

The mast head is the title of the magazine normally situated near the top of the magazine.
The dateline displays the day month and year the magazine was published, although monthly magazines are published a month before the start date. It is usually placed with the price.
A main image consists of a model, often a celebrity making eye contact with thr camera.
Cover lines tell the reader what is inside the magazine without them having to open the magazine. They are placed around the outer edge of the cover.
The main cover line is a much bigger cover line or the main story which takes up about a quarter of the area.
A selling line is a short, sharp description of the title's main marketing point or perhaps setting out its editorial philosophy.
