The masthead- The masthead is a feature that every music magazine will have. It is the large title, or name of the magazine, which is usually at the top of the page.
A large image of the main featured band-they will always have a large image of their main featured band/artist in that edition of the magazine on the front cover, bigger than everything else that’s there. This is used to grab readers’ attention as it may be an artist that they like which could make them more inclined to buy the magazine.
Cover lines- cover lines are the smaller text on the page, basically anything that isn’t the masthead. It is telling you about stuff that is going to come in the magazine and giving you more of a general insight into what this edition of the magazine is about.
They will always have eye-catching colours on the cover of the magazine. This is to catch peoples attention if they are just looking through a selection of magazines and make them more likely to notice and therefore buy the magazine.
They always have a bar code, so it is an actual magazine that is valid and not a fake one.
They always have the date issued so that you don't accidentally buy an old issue by accident or if you're searching for a specific magazine, you will be able to find it by its date.
