Another question.

What makes a magazine a 'magazine'?

So i was designing a house style for the magazine and was stopped in my tracks by this question that popped into my head.

What i could come up with;

• Images
• Captions
• Promotion/Advertisement
• Barcode
• Content
• Advice
• Opinions
• 'Juicy Stories'

So the next step for me is to incorporate all the subjects in the above list and put them all into my magazine house style.
