What am I aiming to achieve on my front cover and what will it include?

• Big, bold and recognisable masthead. 
• Clear sub text to engage reader.
• The background image has to be focused: no blurring or pixilation
• The magazine has to show who my target audience is: 16-18 year old girls with an "indie" taste in music (acoustic mainly).
• Definite colour scheme.. makes it look more professional and neat.
• Appropriate information visible such as price, date of issue, bar code.
• Ratings? reviews?
• variation in text used.
• Overall look: smart, professional, sophisticated, modern.
