As you see by the title, I'm new at working on magazines. I need help with the lingo, because the only technical term I know is masthead, and I know I can't throw that one around the room like a bigshot, masthead guy.
So please help me... There's got to be some production lingo everyone uses to discuss the elements of the front cover and interior pages.
I interviewed with a mag today and now I'm following up. Thanks for your help, or not?

get used to hearing this from your mag client:
So... you are going to be working late on this tonight to meet the deadline aren't you?
- It's low key, but portfolio and experience worthy.Transit_Broadcast
- Doesn't matter. Get ready to hear it. Thats what my client always says, and my friends that work on em hear it too...ian

I've found there are different uses of the term masthead between here and the UK. I was always taught that the masthead is the main logo/id on the front cover (like Time, GQ, etc.), but some here seem to think it's the editorial/team info (writers, contributors, designers, etc.).

Don't the titles and callouts on the front cover have specific names?
