  • More than one creative image
  • Byline - line of the text that shows the name of the journalist who wrote the article
  • Photographer is also credited
  • Standfirst is always by the headline (largest font) and before the start of the article
  • Design Feature - works witrh headline to tell the reader what the article is about
  • Headlines - creative, eye catching
  • Artists names are highlighted
  • Page number - title of magazine and issue date
