-Main title.
-Smaller caption telling reader about article.
-Name of magazine next to page number.
-Quotes usually used to split up text which helps attract readers.
-Interviewer or reviewers name at beginning or end of Article.
-Small amount of colours – simple colour scheme.
-One large picture, which takes up a whole page, and sometimes bleeds between pages. (used to link       two pages together). Sometimes picture is across the whole double page spread, with all text on picture.
Quoter used sometimes in the headline, on the picture or in the stand first, or to break up the text.
Standfirst introduces the article and is positioned under headline, often include journalists name.
Drop capital used at start of the article, to show the reader where to start.
- Other techniques include: bold text , larger type face, capitals for first few words.
