I have once again been looking at Issuu and typed in "regional magazines" into the search bar.
I have found a magazine about Menorca.
Initially, this attracted my attention because of the eye catching image. It is an image that immediately lets you know where the location is without looking at the masthead or page titles.
I have been wondering lately, what kind of cover lines to include on the front page of a regional magazine, and after looking at "SCENE" magazine and now "ALADIERNO", I have noticed that NO cover lines are required, but merely a summary of what can be found inside the magazine at the bottom of the page.
Like SCENE, Aladierno includes the dateline at the top of the page centrally, this is something I included in my first draft of my magazine, it also has the issue number, something I also included. I like the way this magazine's masthead takes up the top of the page, showing its importance to the readers, and also making it identifiable. This shows that so far, my first draft has been successful because my masthead also does this.
The contents page is also effective, the colours from the front page have been carried through. I think this contents page can be quite influential because its a single contents page, just like mine is going to be. It has "contents" written largely, and boldly! Clearly showing the page I am on.
Unlike the front page, the contents page shows that the magazine is full to the brim of exciting stories due to the secondary images included. I have used this idea in my own magazine and think it looks great.
This magazine (even though typically it may be found on an aeroplane) can go some way to influence my decisions for my own magazine. It also emphasises that the decisions I have been making so far are correct, and stick to the typical conventions of a regional magazine.


Here is an example of Aladierno magazine:
