Headlines-to show what the articles are about
Banners- blocks of colour on the top or bottom of the page to highlight important information.
House style/colour scheme- so it looks professional and follows the rest of the magazine so it recognisable.
Issue number and date- to see how recent it is.
Information/Blurb- to give a little information about what the article is about
Categories- sections the articles fit in e.g. new, interviews etc. This organises it so it looks less cluttered.
