This Magazine cover uses many of the codes and
conventions of a typical magazine cover. The masthead is
in a large font so it can be spotted from far away. The image
and he main cover line take up most of the room on the
front of the magazine as it is the most exciting story and the
story that will attract people to the magazine. As Eminem is
a rapper, he is dressed as a stereo typical rapper would be,
for example, cap on and hood up. There is also a colour
scheme of red, black and white.

Main cover line
The masthead is at the top of the page and is large, this is
because it is the name of the magazine and people will be able
to spot it from far away. There is a splash at the top of the
page, this is there to add extra information which isn't worthy of
a cover line. The main image is always the largest thing on this
cover, this is because people will see this music artist and if
they are interested on them, they will buy the magazine. The
cover lines are in a smaller text at the sides as they are content
within the magazine, but not the main headline, so it doesn’t
have as large of a text as the main cover line.

Main Cover line
There is a banner at the top of the page with, unlike usual
magazines, contains the cover lines, the contents of the magazine.
The masthead is one of the biggest texts as it is the name of the
magazine it will make people notice it from far away. The Image on
the front of the magazine is the biggest thing on the front page as it
will attract people and make them buy the magazine if they are
interested in the artist. The main cover line is also one of the
biggest texts on the front page, and this is because it is the main
headline, and the main story in the magazine.

This Magazine cover uses many of the codes and conventions of a
typical magazine cover. The masthead is in a large font so it can
be spotted from far away, the white font also stands off the
background. The image and he main cover line take up most of the
room on the front of the magazine as it is the most exciting story
and the story that will attract people to the magazine. The cover
lines are in a smaller font as these stories aren't as big as the main
headline. The barcode is a simple, basic convention of a magazine
as it is needed.

The cover lines aren't in a conventional place as they are at the
top of the page, this puts more emphasis on the main story that
takes up the rest of the page with the large font and large
image. This magazine also contains the issue date and price on
the magazine, this is for the reader as they need to know that
information. There is also he use of splashes on the page, it is
use to promote a offer inside the magazine.
