step 2:
selling line- the magazines marketing position
cover line- a short sentence previewing the magazine
bar code- identifying a product
left third- to advertise
masthead- masthead is mainly the title, logotype, logo, or nameplate
dateline- when the magazine was published
main image- brings out main part of magazine
model credit- gives credit to the model
main cover line- promotes magazine

The magazine cover of the September 14, 2001, special edition of TIME features a photograph of the two hijacked airliners ripping through the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, taken by photographer Lyle Owerkoof. The issue included testimonies from survivors, more photographs of the Twin Towers after the bombings, and a salute to all those who perished in the tragedy.

this picture shows an event in the middle of the action. the buildings blend in with the background and the fire and smoke draw more attention. I like how the letters don't take up much space and don't draw any attention from the picture which is the main point of the magazine.
