Parts of a magazine cover for grade 9 students.pdf
1. Magazine Cover Design
3.08: Demonstrate mixing of families of type.
5.04: Design a magazine, book cover, album artwork, and CD cover.
2.
3. Masthead
• The masthead is the title of
the magazine and the most
consistent element
throughout the publication's
issues, and how readers will
recognize the magazine on
stands.
4. Magazine Deck
• V Magazine doesn't typically
have a deck, but it's still useful
to know.
• The magazine deck is usually
only a few words long and it
describes the type of
magazine (travel, lifestyle,
etc.)
5. Dateline
• This is the month, year, and
issue number of the publication.
• Depending on the publishing
frequency, some magazines may
use the month and year (January
2020), while quarterly
magazines may include the
season and the year (Summer
2020).
6. Magazine Issue
• Magazine issue numbers are
usually displayed as Volume X,
Issue X.
• Volume refers to the years the
magazine has been in
circulation, while issue refers to
how many times it has been
published during that year.
• V Magazine goes in numerical
order. For this project, you will
be doing magazine number 130.
7. Main Image
• It's important to use high-resolution
images because low-resolution images can
really ruin a magazine cover.
• The first thing that people usually see on a
magazine is the image.
• Try to use visually strong images with a
clear focus.
• Be wary of using busy backgrounds, and
choose a focal point on your image.
8. Lead Article Line
• Every magazine has a main theme for the
issue, and that makes the lead article line
on a cover.
• Try to emphasize the lead article line by
using a slightly different font that goes
with the theme.
• You can also use different colors that
complement the imagery and adjust the
size to have more prominence on the
cover.
• This will create a dynamic cover and will
be sure to draw your reader’s eyes to the
lead article line element first.
9. Cover Lines
• When it comes to the placement of the
cover lines, aim for balance.
• Cover lines are set at a smaller point size
compared to the lead article. Every
magazine has one, depending on the topic
or the person being interviewed.
• Cover lines should have no more than ten
words and must be concise.
10. Website Link
• The rise of digital devices gave room for
magazines to extend their contact on their
websites.
• Remind your customers where they can
find you online, be it your website or any
other social media channels.
11. Price and Bar Code
• Bar codes are taken care of by the printing
house, but you do have to make sure to
leave room for them.
• Their placement is at the bottom-left
corner of the cover, and this space can
also include the price of the magazine.
• Another option is to put the price next to
the date and issue number of the
magazine.
• For this project, you will be placing the
barcode on the design digitally.
12. Assignment – Magazine Cover
• You will be designing a Magazine cover highlighting yourself as an
influential woman in fashion, film, music and/or art of your choice.
13. Assignment Rules
• You must include on the magazine
• Masthead
• Issue & Dateline
• Lead Article Line
• Cover Lines (3)
• Website Link
• Price
• QR Code
14. Assignment Rubric
• Degree of difficulty
• Quality
• Creativity
• Design and composition
• Layout
• Words requirement
