Magazine Layout

Typical Magazine Cover Layout 

In a typical magazine cover the mast head is placed at the top of the magazine. This makes it stand out as this is the first place you would typically look at. In the middle you would have a main image, typically a model. This makes the magazine look more interesting and visually more appealing. The main image is normally a mid shot as this shows off the model, and makes the model stand out which is what draws the reader in. around the edge of the magazine you would find your sub headings. These let the readers know what’s inside the magazine. Depending on the tag line the writing will normally be different sizes as this makes the more important one stand out and draws the reader in. This will normally be about a famous person. The barcode is located at the bottom typically in the corner. This is so that the consumer is able to buy the product and it is usually small so as not to take up too much space.
