Sub-heading - Secondary Headline, normally linked to Main heading
Barcode - Used in identifying the magazine for purchasing reasons, it is predominantly on the cover-page of the magazine. Needs to be ignored as its not part of inside features; therefore it is commonly pushed to the very bottom of the cover page.
