Similarities between the Tv Guide Listings

After Researching into the top rated Tv Listings Guide i found that there were alot of similarities between them.  These are the similaritieas that can be accounted for in the magazines:

• The magazine title is normally located at the top of the magazine cover
• Titles for the magazine are Eyecatching, clear and very simplified
• Bold Fonts
• Backgrounds tend to be a blue/light blue colour as its relaxing and generally doesnt contrast with the dominant image.
• The main storyline image covers the majority of the page
• Coverlines are always at the side and bottom of the cover
• Other storyline images are bordered off in different shapes
• Use emphasise on the price of the magazine but stating "only"
• Date and issue numbers are located near the magazines title
