This is the Subheading of the magazine, and will be used in accordance with the setting of a library, and also corresponding with one of the main rules of a library to ‘be silent’. It also links with the image of a student putting his finger over his mouth for silence in the room to study.

These are all located throughout the magazine cover, and are used to have Side headings including information. The information also includes the interior information , about what is inside the magazine, and furthermore, giving the user more detail. i.e., updates and tips.It will also help to give the student user help, possibly on study time.
