The Four F's Of Magazine Design

The four F's are:

• Format - visual style
• Formula - what is in the magazine and where it is
• Frame - the margins and gutter
• Function - what is it's job? sum up in a sentence, sell line, or slogan...

These will help me when it comes to producing my music magazine as I can then think about the four F's to help me produce the best magazine I can. If i'm thinking of more than just the visual style like, for example, I will be looking at the job is of it which will help me come up with a sell line which will then, therefore, help my music magazine sell well.
