Magazine Essentials

Masthead:
The name of the magazine displayed in a specific typeface.
Selling line:
Short, sharp description of the title's main marketing point
Date line:
Month and year of publication, often with the price.
Cover lines:
magazine uses a lot of cover lines, which are distributed around the main image without detracting from it too much. A mistake often made with cover lines is that they run over an image that has a lot of colour changes, rendering the words difficult to read.
Main Image:
The photo on the cover of the magazine
Model credit:
 The photographer and model credit
Main cover line:
This is very large - taking up almost a quarter of the magazine cover - and comes in three layers, each with a different colour. 
Bar code:
Standard bar code used by retailers, displayed on UK magazines since 1988. Will often include publication date and price. Special subscriber covers often omit this.

Best Portrait

Kelly falls asleep while he reads Manga books instead of studying.

Portrait Plan

PROJECT PLAN

• Who will you shoot? (name of person in class)

Kelly Polacheck

• Where will you shoot? (i.e. courtyard under the trees, inside sitting on the stairs, etc.)

Library, to match Kelly's personality

• What will be your background? (brick wall, stairs, trees, etc.

Books and Tables to surround Kelly in his own Nerdy-ness

• Describe the mood you want to achieve: formal, casual, introspective, funny, etc.

I want it to fit Kelly's personality, so a silly mood, books and stuff. Cause we're nerds.
