Masthead:
Located in the left third of the page in the top corner.
Big, chunky text written in a white font and placed on a red background - enchances the colour of the text.
Date:
Though it is relevant so the readers are aware of which week(s) they are reading about, it doesn't play a huge part of the content of the page which is why it isn't promoted as much as other information on the page.
Coverline:
Creates 'sensation' with the use of exclaimation marks. By creating drama, people are more likely to purchase the magazine and then watch the promoted storyline of the soap opera.
Subheading:
The subheading underneath the coverline reveals more than the coverline does, but once again creates sensationalism but not revealing too much.
Barcode:
Similar to the date, the barcode doesn't have much relevance to the content of the front page, but it's existence needs to be noticed so retailers are able to scan the product when it is purchased, following codes and conventions.
Main Image:
Usually the focal point, the main image takes up the majority of the middle and right third of the page. It usually features a well known character of any Soap Opera, and must have some relevance to the coverline and the storyline that is being promoted.
