What I will repeat-Steve Neale (1980):For my own magazine, I will repeat the use of a barcode to make it look more professional. This barcode will also inform the reader what issue of the magazine it is. I will also include social media logo’s and links to help use multiple social media platforms to attract more potential buyers. Lastly, I will be sure to include my magazines logo on each page, to make each page look artistic sand completely professional. This is because if I simple use text on each page without pictures, my magazine wont look appealing. I will also be sure to use page numbers etc. as little details can greatly improve the appearance of a magazine.
