After analysing five different front covers from different publications, I have found many similarities and differences between based on what type of publication they are and the target audience. All the magazines have their masthead as the largest piece of writing so that it stands out the most and in the top quarter of the page.
There is always a dominant central image but depending on the type of publication, the central image could be a recognisable Hollywood star or a much less recognisable or even known director.
The majority of magazines have web addresses, dates, issue numbers, barcodes and prices regardless of what type of publication they are.
The cover lines vary between magazines as the mainstream Hollywood magazines have many colourful cover lines all over the page with many banners to catch the readers attention. The independent magazines have their cover lines in a neat and organised section of the page with far fewer banners.
The mainstream magazines have many other images which the others lack.
