Magazine publishing terminology
A client of mine for whom I regularly translate magazine articles has asked me - out of interest, I think - what the English ter for "appels de une" is and, never having worked in publishing, I have no idea. It means the very short description of an article that appears next to the article name on a magazine cover.

cover captions
The goal for the editor, is to apply this style to draw/entice the readers to the publication for further readings. There are two or more types of cover captions: caption lines or cutlines. If online publication, then caption tag. Photographs are often used on the cover to show the contents within the publication and I would term it as caption photo/picture on the cover.

(main) cover lines
Main Cover Lines The main cover line is smaller than the masthead but larger than the other cover lines. The font colour is the same as the other cover lines but it is written in bold near the masthead. It is meant to be the eye catching cover line. After having read the masthead the readers eyes will go straight down to the main cover line. It is the biggest typeface on the page (apart from the masthead) and in white against the models brown hair so that is stands our clearly.
