Research - Cover Lines

 Hello Beautiful People! Like I said in my previous research post, my cover lines and puffs are going to be important in helping me appeal to my audience. I did some research on the titles of the words of sports magazines, and the fonts of different teen magazines. 

I'm going to need a few fake article titles for the cover and table of contents. Since they're obviously going to be about sports, I looked at some from different sports magazines. The ones from Inside Gymnastics all have the article title in a large font, followed by an engaging description. The article titles all have attention-grabbing words like Soars! and Mighty, that exaggerate the title and make the audience want to read it. Also, since the articles are mainly about certain athletes, most of the time, the athlete's names are part of the title, which should make creating the titles pretty easy. 

 

  The other sports magazines that I looked at also had pretty much the same format but not all of them included the people's names in the title, which was fine because the athlete was always on the cover photo, so it's pretty obvious who the article is about. Another thing that various magazines do that Inside Gymnastics doesn't is under the cover line, in a smaller, less significant font, they include the author of the article and/or the page it is found on, which I think is something I'm going to do. 

    

 

Overall, I think the format I'm going to use is large, captivating heading with a description, and small page number and author underneath. The main cover line is going to be about the person on the cover photo.
