From looking at various magazine covers, i have picked up on some codes and conventions which i will need to consider when designing my own. The masthead is always bold, with a distinctive font that acts as a logo or symbol just as much as a title. I will need to create a logo or something similar for my TV show 'drama club' to include on the cover. The covers seem to follow the same outline, but vary in style. Children's magazines seem to be more cluttered and colourful however there is always a main image with text bleeding onto or around it. There is nearly always some kind of give away or 'exclusive' to entice readers, and the font aside from the masthead is very simple and consistent to keep it from being to confusing. A popular colour for this is white, red is also used a lot but a simple colour scheme is something i will use for my cover.
