As a class we analysed a front cover of a magazine called 'Hip Hop' as a class we looked at how the front cover catches the audience's eyes. we talked about how it attracts the audience and what the audience the magazine is aimed at. we then then looked deeper into the magazine looking at the title, main coverline, coverlines, banners, graphic and strapline. these are the convention that helps make the magazine front cover. the title is the biggest font that is on the page. it is probaly the first thing the audience will see when they pick up the magazine. althought the main image of the magazine can also attract the audience first. the main coverlines is the second biggest font on the magazine front cover as this tell you the main story that will be in the magazine. a banner is the strap across the top or bottom of the page. the graphics is often the special offers that the magazine gives you when you by the magazine and the strapline is the subheading.

as a group we analysed the front cover of a of a magazine called Mojo.

we analysed the front cover of the magazine by looking at the layout, masthead, main cover line and cover line, strapline etc. the magazine that my group looked at was 'Mojo'

the genre of the magazine was rock. the main image of the magazine was of a band which covered some part of the title which indicates that the band is more important than the name of the magazine.

we looked at all the convention on the front cover such as the cover line, main cover lines etc.
