the magazine Kerrang. Double page

spreads are most popular in magazines,
although some articles can take up many
pages.
Columns This article has
3 clear columns which
split up the text, making it
easier to read. This is the
normal way when writing
in a magazine or
newspaper.
Page Numbers This article
was on pages 30 and 31 in
Kerrang magazine. In
publications it makes it easier
to navigate through the
magazine, especially if theres a
contents page.
Orientation The article is presented in a
portrait fashion. This is the standard style in
magazines and newspapers, although some can
feature landscape pages which are often posters
featured in the magazine.
Headline/Header The header draws you in
to the article as its the biggest text feature
on the page. The one in this article is Teen
Spirit. The font also draws you in because
its exciting.
Strapline Also known as
the subheading; this is
the line after the text
which explains more
about the article.
Blobs and Stars These are the
parts of an article that are
added to draw attention to
particular sections of the
article. For example the paint
splatters in the title. They are
different and draw you in.
Drop Capitals This is the
first letter of a paragraph
that is enlarged over two
or more lines.
White Space It refers to the
empty spaces in a design. It is
used to separate elements in a
design. White Space is not
always white, if the background
where to be blue, it would be
called Blue Space. It is also
known as Negative Space. It is
the area of an article that is not
occupied by any shapes, text or
images.
Reverse Also known as
dropout, this technique
involves having white
writing on a black
background.
Pull Quote This is a part
of an article where it has
been pulled out to strike
attention. It usually is in a
different colour, font, size
and weight to the original
text.
Margins Margins are the
space around the edge of the
page where you avoid putting
text. This creates a frame for
your work.

place your text, photos and
graphics on your page. Grids can
either be simple, or very
complex. They provide a clean
and simple look for your article.

box or photograph.

Orientation The article is presented in a portrait
fashion. This is the standard style in magazines and
newspapers, although some can feature landscape pages,
which are often posters, featured in the magazine. Unlike
the other article, this one is only one page, meaning there
isnt as much information on it.
Blobs and Stars These are the parts of an article that are
added to draw attention to particular sections of the
article. They are different and draw you in. In this case, I
think that the background could be involved, as it isnt
the usual block colour, they have made it different by
adding in a woodland scene.
White Space It refers to the empty spaces in a design. It
is used to separate elements in a design. White Space is
not always white, if the background where to be blue; it
would be called Blue Space. It is also known as Negative
Space. It is the area of an article that is not occupied by
any shapes, text or images. The only white space there is,
is behind the text. This is necessary because otherwise
you wouldnt be able to read the text, which is an
important feature in the article.
Page Numbers This article also happened to be on
pages 30 and 31, but in a childrens magazine. In
publications it makes it easier to navigate through the
magazine, especially if theres a contents page.
Margins Margins are the space
around the edge of the page where
you avoid putting text. This creates
a frame for your work.
Grids Grids are used to help place your text, photos and
graphics on your page. Grids can either be simple, or very
complex. They provide a clean and simple look for your
article. They have probably used grids in this article to
make the white text box central to the background
image; it also helped when placing the text around the
bike image.
Border They are used to
form the edge of a box or
photograph.
Base Line This is an
imaginary line that the
texts sit on. Every single
word has a baseline.
Cut-Out This is where part of a photograph is cut
out and the background is removed. This can make
it easier in incorporate images. This method has
been used in the bike photograph. The woodland
and the bike are from the same image, but the
editors have cut out some of the photographs to
make room for the text to go in.
Cross-head A heading set in the body of text used
to break it into easy readable sections.
