Magazine Essential Parts

Part 1: Masthead
Part 2: Date Line
Part 3: Main Image
Part 4: Model Credit
Part 5: Cover Lines
Part 6: Main Cover Line
Part 7: Left Third
Part 8: Bar Code
Part 9: Selling Line

All these nine parts belong the main cover of a magazine. The masthead is the tittle of the magazine and  is usually typed in big letter so it can be recognizable. Date line is the month and year they publish the magazine. Main image, when is usually one image the image takes up the whole magazine cover. Model credit, is the names of the photographer and the model of the cover. Cover lines are used in all over the magazine, but they do a mistake by sometime putting the letters over the image and the colors kind of blend in and you can't really read it. Main cover line takes almost  a quarter of the magazine with different colors advertising different things. Left third is where they show the vital sales. Bar code standard bar code used by retailers. Selling line is the main thing of the whole cover.
