1. Contents Pages

2. The main articles are listed with there page
numbers next to them and the others are listed as
features or specials.

3. Many don't have the links to social media on the
contents page unless it is a special editors edition of
which they want to get there name out there.

4. The front page is used as an image at the top or bottom of the page to
remind readers of what issue they are reading. This mostly a marketing
technique rather than a magazine choice as its easier for audiences to
look than read.

5. The colour of the background is again a simple block so that the main article photo does not have the
attention drawn away from it and you can recognise the artist via their face. It’s also done so you can
manipulate the artificial lighting so the text can be read. In certain issues of the subject is famous
enough you cam get away without using a block colour.

6. Many of the magazines use adverts based towards their target audience
so they can sell more merchandise or push certain deals and offers again
giving them an incentive to buy.

7. Most of the contents pages have the issue date
somewhere on the page to reinforce which issue you’re
reading if you don’t pay attention to the front cover.
