There are many main features that are shared throughout all different types of magazines; these help readers easily recognise the magazines and draw their attention to the magazines unique articles to attempt to get the reader to buy it and read it. Some of these shared aspects are:

• Cover Lines
• Masthead
• Barcode and price
• Captions
• Plugs

These features altogether add up to make an eye-catching magazine for example, the cover lines advertise to readers all other information and articles they could read inside the magazine and help get them to want to read further on. In the future I can use what I have learned about magazines to use all of the technical and formal conventions to meet audience expectations when I create my own magazine cover so that it looks professional and well-made.
