Conventional layout of a magazine cover

    

	Hotspur	Men’s health	Spin
Title	the title is neat and simple it is placed at the top of the magazine it also doesn't take up much space, also the image of the man takes up a little bit of the title which gives him status and shows people should already recognise the title and magazine.	the title is placed at the very top of the page taking up a section of the top half of the magazine the colour of the font is red white stands out on the white background. it written in a very simple form so the target audience to see the magazine	the title is positioned in the top left hand page of this cover but is overlapped by the main image this shows that the company expect people to already know the name of this magazine and also gives the person in the image status. it doesnt take up alot of space.
Main cover line	the main cover line says "hugo lloris" which is the name of the man featured on the front cover this cover line also overlaps that image so it is a clear indication to the audience that this is the name of the player, it doesn't take up a lot of space either leaving the main image still very visible	This magazine cover doesn’t feature a stand out cover line it just features around eight normal cover lines that the audience can clearly see	the main coverline is positioned underneath the main image it is in white writing with a black border this makes it stand out to the audience also it doesnt take up alot of space
Cover line	this magazine feature three other cover lines two of them are place on the top left hand side of the magazine they are very neat and simple in the colour white so it stands out on the dark back ground they are also very small but still noticeable the third one is placed on the top right hand corner and is the exact same to the other cover lines.	this magazine cover features eight cover lines which are all positioned around the main image and just underneath the title some of them are red and some are in black and these colours match and stand out on the white background the red font used in the cover lines corresponds with the title. The boldness of these cover lines allow the audience to clearly see what the magazine will feature	this magazine cover has many coverlines which are basically scattered all over the page in black writing and different shapes and sizes. other than the main image and title these coverlines take up all of the page.
Tagline	this magazine doesn't have a specific tagline its just mainly cover lines	This magazine doesn’t feature a catchy tag line I think it doesn’t feature this because of the seriousness of this magazine it doesn’t want to make you laugh it wants to help you change your life style in a positive way so the catchy tag lines don’t need to be on this magazine because it would make the magazine seem fun whereas its not for fun	this magazine doesnt have a specific tagline because the page is filled with coverlines
Price	the price is on the bar code which is placed in the bottom right hand corner of the magazine cover and it is more noticeable when the cover is in full size.	The price is on the bar code which is on the bottom left hand of the cover it doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t interrupt any of the surrounding cover lines and image	from looking at this front cover in a small image i cant see the price this suggest it could be on the inside of the front cover or on the back
Date	the date is very small and noticeable when the magazine is in full size it is places underneath the main title	This magazine from what I can see does not feature a date maybe in full size the date could be visible	from looking at this front cover in a small image i cant see the date this suggest it could be on the inside of the front cover or on the back
Image	the image is placed in the centre of the magazine cover taking up most of the space. the image has some effects such as flames on the arms of the goalkeeper this may symbolise that he is unstoppable.	The image is positioned in the centre of the page taking up most of the space but leaving gaps for the title and the cover lines. The image features a man who is in very good shape which is clear to the audience that magazine is about fitness and health which also matches the title	the main image takes up alot of the front page and slightly to the right of the page and the image also overlaps the title which gives the person in the image a high status because he is covering one of the main things that can be seen as the magazines identity.
