A good way to continue my research would be involving myself into the conventions of a lifestyle magazine. More specifically, I would like to focus on the cover page of one. Lifestyle magazines can be found almost anywhere such as bookstores, grocery stores, libraries, and even online. And they can cover a multitude of topics like home decor, travel, food, and fashion. All of which encapsulate the broad topic of "lifestyle."
Off to the side you'll notice supporting coverlines and these are other articles that can be found within the magazine and are kept on the side to keep the focus on the main image.
People typically judge a book by its cover, so the cover page has to be enticing. In order to accomplish this, puffs and plugs are utilized which are supporting coverlines placed within shapes to make them stand out even more. Additionally, it helps keep the overall look more organized and structured.
Typically, at the bottom, the price and barcode will be displayed to allow the audience to see the price and purchasable.
With this new info. I would be able to apply this to my own project and utilize the proper magazine conventions. Combining this with my research on page and image composition I would be able to solidify my understanding.
