Our magazine uses many of the traditional conventions of media products, for instance, we have used a masthead, a puff and inverted straplines, we decided to use these because they add character to the cover and ensure that people know that it is actually a magazine. We have developed on the way that media products normally look because we have used quite a bit more text than most magazine covers would. We decided to do this because we felt that as long as the font was of an appropriate size and we still had lots of the main cover shot showing, that it would be fine to do this.
