Conventions of a magazine front cover

The conventions of a magazine:-
Big bold title of magazine - Tells the audience what its called, what type of magazine it is, title must be easily recognisable.
Date - Usually in small print in the corner of the magazine.
Pictures - Main picture to go with main subject, 1 small picture somewhere else on the cover to go with a sub content.
Sub content titles - Seem to be grouped together on part of the front cover, a picture may accompany.
Main subject - Includes a large picture, the main focus when you look at the magazine, makes you want to buy it.
Colours - Show what is included in the magazine or the type of magazine. For example, dark colours are usually on a gaming magazine, bright colours on a tv magazine.
