When doing this magazine front cover I used typical codes and conventions such as date line, price , bar code and masthead that must essentially be used for a magazine and the rest are additional codes and conventions that make the difference between a high and low quality magazine.The main cover line and cover lines must use the right typography in order to match the magazine genre or the cover star. Things like who the cover star is and pugs add additional attraction to the magazine and will increase purchases if the audience is appealed to. Weather or not the masthead is in front or behind the cover star varies dependent on the cover star image as this one is in front to show the dominance also through the use of direct address of the cover star (eye contact).
