What Are Pugs
And Puffs On
Magazines?
By Sophie Canning
Pugs
Definition of a pug- to catch the readers eye, it's placed in the top left
and right hand corner; the prices, logo and issue number are placed here
Here Is the first pug which is the price
Below is another pug
with a quotation from an
article Inside
And here is the barcode
All three of the pugs shown above are refereed to as
pugs because they are all short yet vital parts of
information about the magazine, and are all located
on the top left hand part of the page. This is where
readers first look, which in this case is good as
straight away readers can see the price and topics of
articles inside and cashiers can easily locate the
barcode.
Puffs
Definition of a puff- An incentive which is placed on the cover to make
something stand out. Usually by putting text into a shape.
This sticker which can be seen
in almost every magazine and
is used for promoting
something inside the magazine
is known as a puff (almost like
a puff of information). It is
different from rest of the details
in the magazine . In this case,
it’s a small grey circle
surrounded by a black outline.
The text inside the circle tells
the reader that an article about
John Lennon will be inside. It is
quick and easy for readers to
see this and draws them in as
they are made aware of what
will be inside that magazine.
