Three features arranged down side of page in negative space next to star.

Headings in bold, sub- headings same font, black

Caption anchored on star’s lapel. Name of programme, day and channel. Gives audience easy access

Star’s eye is in centre of the page, breaking the rule of thirds, and part of his face is obscured.

The star is famous enough to attract audiences even when he is hidden from view.

Main feature: “Doctor Who” is largest text on page, anchoring the star.

“Is there life after...” creates a story for the audience to follow

Barcode, price, region. Region is given because times and programmes change

SIX images gives reader value for money

EIGHT colours make this publication bright, cheap and cheerful.

Wide banner at top catches audience’s eye on news stand as it is different to other soap mags.

Wide banner, “2 weeks revealed” implies value for money Ripped paper makes this look

like it was constructed in a rush- this news is fresh

“organised chaos” by using boxes then manipulating features and images so they extend beyond the edge

All CANTED text is tilted in the same direction and to the same degree. Nothing is random.

Punctuation creates rhetorical questions and excitement?!
