Research: Conventions of a front cover

 

The masthead on this magazine is quite typical as it stretches across the entire page, however it is different to the norm as it touches the top of the page.

The background is a gradient which contrasts the usual solid one colour background.

Colour theme - black, white and pink.

The headline's are in a bold font, and the standfirst is in the same font however not bold. All of the text on the front cover is sans-serif.
