Research and Findings Continued

Mode Of Address
Mode of Address is the way that the magazine addresses the audience. For example, if the main image is of a person looking straight at the reader, it is a direct mode of address. This draws in the reader because the image is at eye level. If the person is looking towards the side of the magazine, it will draw the reader to the cover lines on the side of the magazine.

House Style
A magazine's house style is the main theme that runs throughout the magazine. The House style ties the magazine to the brand by utilising the same colours across every issue, or uses the same colours for one specific issue in the case of exclusive issues. This magazine has a house style that uses blue, red and white

The date and price are sometimes placed on the barcode, or placed near the top of the magazine next to the masthead.
