A Mast Head is the title of a magazine. It's always at the top because it is the first place you look, and on a magazine rack it is all that would be showing so the public would be able to see it. The font is also choosen in accordance with the genre of the magazine. A girly magazine is going to ave swirly firty style writing wheras a magazine for computers is going to be quite basic and have a standard font.The colour of the magazines writing also allows the reader to determine what sex the magazine is aimed at. Pink is more likely to be for girls and blue for boys etc..
A tagline goes near the masthead it will normally show what the magazine is about.
The central image is one of the most important parts of the front cover it catches readers eyes befor text. The central image will be relevant to the magazine's purpose and audience, and will often be related to the feature article.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

I chose a collection of different Hip-Hop magazines, this is my chosen music genre for my music magazine.

XXL magazine is a predominatley rap based magazine, focusing on America's rappers, particulary up and coming stars.

The Source is a United States-based, monthly full-color magazine covering hip-hop music, politics, and culture, founded in 1988. It is the world's second longest running rap periodical, behind United Kingdom-based publication Hip Hop Connection. The Source was founded as a newsletter in 1988.

I chose to call my magazine S'cool as it is more funky and looks more childish than the normal spelling of "school". I will include things such as student opinions and topics on which students enjoy i.e film/ t.v.
