  • Iconic artist: by putting iconic music artists on there people how are interested about music are going to read it because then you get all types of celebs that everyones like you need different genres to. 
  • Pullout: so you can see what you et free with the magazine may it be a poster or a free gift, all drawing in the buyers. 
  • Design: can be a big box at the bottom that shows and exclusive interview or story, they normally are full of bold different colours as well as it offers 'lots more' something out of the ordinary magazine. 
  • Cover lines: can be all different for the types of stories , they are normally distributed around the main image round the edge with out distracting you from the main image.
