Terminology

 Here are the new magazine terminology that I learned.

Reflection: 

I found these new words to be very interesting. I never knew that magazines had all these different features or that there were special words for them. I found it hard to identify the features of a magazine without having the definitions handy in the beginning. However, I have finally started getting the hang of them and started remembering what meant what after I had started to play around and do more research into magazines. Despite that, I still need to refer back to the list to double check just in case I am wrong

• Masthead: The magazine's title/logo typically displayed at the top of the cover page.
• Cover Lines: Short, attention-grabbing phrases or headlines on the cover designed to entice readers to purchase the magazine.
• Headline: The main title of a specific article or feature within the magazine.
• Byline: The author's name, often placed beneath the headline to give credit.
