Magazine Research unfinished

Todays Lesson began with an analysis of the magazine, "Hip Hop Connection." When analyzing, we took into consideration :
  • Construction of the magazine cover
  • Cover lines
  • The Background
  • Dark Colours
  • The Artists
  • Poses
  • Crest
  • Main Sell Line
  • Central figures
  • Promo offers
In order to understand the work, we have to consider the terminology that is associated with covers. I have identified the 

masthead : is the title of the magazine and nearly always justified to the right
Banner :  A strap across the top or bottom of the page
Main Cover image : Usually looking straight at the camera to attract and connect with the audience
