MAGAZINES..

• Magazines, periodicals, or serials are

publications that are printed with ink on paper

or distributed online.

• They are published on a regular basis and

contain a variety of content.

• Magazines can be distributed through the mail;

through sales by newsstands, bookstores, or

other vendors; or through free distribution at

selected pick-up locations.

MASTHEAD..

These mastheads above are written

in uppercase letters to make it

stand out and so its easily read.

The mastheads are in red and

black as again they stand out

against other magazine that are

stacked.

The backgrounds are normally a light colour

like a grey or white. This is so the model stands

out on the front and the writing is easily read.

Also it makes the magazine look less busy.

BACKGROUND..

MODELS POSE..The model on the front is usually in a close

up or mid-shot. This is so they don’t look too

serious as a close up communicates

importance.

SALES MODELS FOR DISTRUBITION..

The circulation: Meaning:

Paid circulation The magazine is sold to readers for a

price, either on a per-issue basis or by

subscription, where an annual fee or

monthly price is paid and issues are

sent by post to readers.

Non-paid circulation This means that there is no cover price

and issues are given away, for

example in street dispensers, airline in-

flight magazines, or included with other

products or publications.

Controlled circulation This is the model used by "insider

magazines" or industry-based

publications distributed only to

qualifying readers, often for free and

determined by some form of survey.

This latter model was widely used

before the rise of the World Wide Web

and is still employed by some titles.
