Ask yourself the following questions about the page:

Does the magazine use images?

How have these images been constructed?

What colours and fonts are used? Does this support the style of the front cover?

How is the information organised so that it is accessible to the audience? What are the different sections? What does this tell you about the magazine?

Are there any promotional features?

Is the magazine logo places anywhere on the page? How dominant is it?

Is there a letter from the editor?  If yes, how does the language and tone of writing appeal to the reader and audience demographic?  

Does the language and style of writing adhere to the house style of the magazine?

Does it identify and call out to the target audience?
