SIMILARITIES

MAIN IMAGE OVERLAPPING MASTHEAD

PLACEMENT OF MONTH AND PRICE

SUB-HEADING AND SELL LINE / EXTRA INFORMATION PROMINENT MAIN IMAGE

DIFFERENCESMy magazine has a prominent sell line that overlaps the main cover image, it takes up a large piece of the front cover because I wanted it to be demanding. Cosmo’s front cover clears all sell-lines away from the main image of Miley.

Cosmo offers a prize draw / competition which will draw in more readers and allow them to become more interactive with the magazine. I offer 20% off a local, Newcastle based boutique but in terms of being involved this is a difference.

The position of our barcodes differ, I positioned mine on its side in order to make room for more articles etc.

Bulleted List, typically this is not found but I wanted to include one to make my cover original and smart. Cosmo uses simple sell-lines in paragraphs if they use one at all.
