This document summarizes some common codes and conventions used in magazine design. It notes that magazines typically display their title prominently in the top left corner, include a large main image, often of a celebrity, and feature a barcode with price and issue information. The cover lines are intended to attract attention and relate to the main image, while sub lines provide more details and buzz words make the magazine seem important with exclusives.
