follows the rule of thirds, splitting off into three
columns, the far right column handles information on
the magazine and organises it in a manner easy to
find. The other columns focus on the features of the
magazine, splitting them off with subheadings in black
boxes in yellow text coinciding with the house style.
Certain features can be found in the rule of thirds hot
spots.

signature to provide
authenticity and
professionalism to the

camera creating a strong
address between the
actual editior and the
