The document discusses the key elements of a magazine cover layout, including the header, barcode/price, masthead, footer, main sell line, main image, and use of the rule of thirds layout. Specifically, it notes that the main sell line should be big and bold to stand out, and that the main image of Dizzy Rascal expresses excitement and direct address to draw the audience in.

1. Header- this at the top of the page to say which article is good to read about. The
16 pages suggest that they have a lot to talk about that may interest he reader.
Barcode/price/issue
These are very
important on
magazines if they want
to buy by the public.
The price shows how
good or bad the
magazine is, expensive
if it’s good and cheap if
it’s not one of the
popular ones.
Masthead- NME
This is in the top corner
of the page as it is easy
to find and clear to
read. It is also there
because when other
magazines cover it on
the shelf, you can still
read it.
Footer- this is at the bottom of the page to list all of
the other bands and singers that are included in the
magazine.
Main sell line “IM
SPREADING JOY
AROUND THE WORLD
MAN!”
His is clever as it is like
the magazine is talking
to you and telling you
what is going to
happen. It should be
big, bright and bold so
that it stands out
above the rest and is
obvious it is the main
cover line.
Main image
The medium shot of Dizzy
Rascal me shows us his
clear facial expressions. He
looks excited which
suggests that the magazine
will be an exciting read. He
is looking straight at the
camera so that he is giving
direct address to make the
audience feel welcome.
The gold chain around his
neck stands out to the
audience so then they will
notice this part of the
magazine. The way he is
dressed implies that this
may be an informal
magazine and is about
rapping.
Left third- is used
for cover/sell lines
Layout- rule of thirds
There is no rule of thirds used
on this magazine. The cover
lines have seemed to have just
been put anywhere where
there is free space. This looks
a little which suggests that it
may be about rapping and will
be informal.
