The Key features of a Magazine

I have created the image below and identified the key features of a magazine cover.


Mast Head- Is the title of a magazine which is usually at the left hand side of the page. 

Sell Line- Teases the audience and draws them in.

Sub Heading- Is a heading given to a subsection of a piece of writing which usually explains the sell line.

Essential info- Is the date and issue number etc.

Bar code- Is a machine-readable code in the form of numbers and a pattern of parallel lines, printed on a product.

Main Image- Is normally in the centre of the magazine and is used to grab the readers attention. 

Main Sell Line- Draws the reader in and normally relates to the main story of the magazine.

    You have identified the typical features of a magazine cover and while your descriptions are brief, they do explain the purpose of each feature.
