Conventions of a front page

I have studied front pages of magazines, and these are the conventions that are on alot of magazines:

• Medium close-ups of the main image/ icon/ person who the main story is about
• Large title which is indivdival to everything else
• 2 or 3 colours on the front page
• Images are set in front of the title
• Words like 'Extra!' or 'Exclusive' makes the consumer believe they're getting their money's worth
• A colour scheme, no more then 5 colours are used and normally has one colour that will be a theme
• Small amount of different fonts and size's
• Expression on the face convey's different attitudes
• 'Anchorage'- text is added to make the reader see the image
• Issue number and price are usually in a small font
• Coverlines indicates sub-stories and in a entertaining style to lure the reader in
• Masthead/ title creates 'Brand- identity'
• Capital letters are used for main conventions
• Competitions and freebee's are emphosied
