Introduction to magazine conventions

 1) List the three most important magazine cover conventions in your opinion and explain why for each one.

-Slogan- The slogan is an important magazine cover as it draws the audiences' attention on to the magazine and makes them want to continue reading it.

-Colour scheme- The colour scheme is very important as well as it catches the eye of the audience and makes them want to pick it up from the shelf if the colours stand out to them.

-Title of publication- The title of publication is very important as well as when people want to buy the magazine they know what's it about. E.g The Tatler magazine is about fashion and celebrities.

2) Identify as many of the magazine cover conventions as you can and write a list of where they appear on this cover of Closer. As an extension, you could also write about the preferred reading for the convention - what the magazine is trying to communicate to the audience.
