Feature Hierarchy

I chose a publication cover, in this case, a magazine. Without understanding the language that this cover has been translated to, in terms of hierarchy, GQ is the obvious title of the publication because of its boldness and size as opposed to the rest of the text. Next to the title would probably have something to do with a feature story while the other noticeable object, the text in the circle, is probably the special feature because they've made it stand out by creating that shape around it. All the other text are called teasers because they are sneak previews to the other articles inside the publication. They are all in different sizes according to which articles would be more eye-catching. All in all, I think that GQ has a great balance of the scale of their cover photo to the way they highlight the text around it without making it chaotic. They emphasize the publication name as well as the special featured article correlating to their photo.
