These are some WIKI descriptions with hyperlinks so you can read further if you wish too:
A masthead, technically speaking, is the box or section within its pages which contains detailed identifying information regarding its publisher, staff, location, frequency of publication etc. What appears on the front of a periodical, is technically called the nameplate and is distinct from its masthead. For this project wouldn't it be good if you did both for this project? look at your favourite magazine - what kind of distinction does it make between its masthead and nameplate?
Copy refers to written material, in contrast to photographs or other elements of layout, in a large number of contexts, including magazines, advertising, and book publishing. In some fields, copy refers to the output of copywriters, who are employed to write material which encourages consumers to buy goods or services.
In publishing more generally, the term copy refers to the text in books, magazines, and newspapers. In books, it means the text as written by the author, which the copy editor then prepares for typesetting and printing.
In newspapers and magazines, body copy, the main article or text that writers are responsible for, is contrasted with display copy, accompanying material such as headlines and captions, which are usually written by copy editors or sub-editors.
The verso is the back side and the recto the front side of a leaf of paper in a bound item such as a book, broadsheet, or pamphlet. Thus in languages written from left to right (like English), the recto is the right-hand page and the verso the left-hand page.
