Even though the Promotion for this
magazine is smaller then the rest of

bright red and having black&white
writing.
The Barcode is a fairly large size
which makes it easier for the
cashier to scan and for the
customer to purchase it.
The Togline is also brightly coloured ad

question to who ever reads it, makes
people feel like its talking to them
which may make them want to buy it
even more.

before they even start
reading the article.

photo gives the reader
a little more detail
about the band and the
photo. Its noticeable
because of the black
writing.
Even though the side
storylines are small
they are still
readable and give
the reader an insight
of what's in the rest
of the magazine.
