Magazines as a media form:
A brief history:
A magazine is a publication, usually a periodical publication, which is printed or electronically published (sometimes referred to as an online magazine). Magazines are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.
The earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen, a literary and philosophy magazine, which was launched in 1663 in Germany.
The oldest consumer magazine still in print is The Scots Magazine,[12] which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totalling over 90 years weaken that claim. Lloyd's List was founded in Edward Lloyd's England coffee shop in 1734; and though its online platform is still updated daily it has not been published as a magazine since 2013 after 274 years.
In the mid-1800s, monthly magazines gained popularity.

Codes and Conventions:
- Masthead: The font used is characteristic to the magazine which makes it instantly recognisable and noticeable to the readers along with the stand-out colour and bold letters.
- Tagline: The purpose of the tagline is to show what the magazine is about or who it might be aimed at.
- Coverlines: These ones are used to give the reader an idea of what is in the magazine.
- Central Image: In this case we have a close up shot of an iconic artist that is globally known. The point of the central image is to attract readers even before they have time to read any text on the cover.
- Cover model: Usually cover models are celebrities with strong connections to the magazine’s genre and so enables the reader to instantly determine the genre purely through the model.
- Barcode: The barcode is in a visible place but isn’t obscuring the view of the magazine’s images or text. It is located in the same position consistently throughout these magazines
