Essentials for a Music Magazine

After reading through the power point there are things that I did no realise which were essential to put onto the front cover:

• As the front cover is the first thing that the audience will see of the magazine it has to be attractive and unique so that people are willing to buy the magazine. We read from left to right, top to bottom so the best place to put important information is in the top left hand corner of the cover. 
• There are different sentence structures used on the cover as well: Declarative - making a statement, Imperative - giving orders, Interrogatives - asking questions and Exclamatives -  surprise or alarm.
• There are tricks with language; Rhyme, alliteration, sibilance and assonance which are used to catch the eye of the audience. 
• Intertextuality is often used also. This is when we are reminded of another form of media or saying e.g. 'Boys r us'.
