What are the layout conventions of LWL?

When looking at the layout of the magazine, it is very neatly produced so that each copy follows a similar layout to the next, given the magazine it's own distinct style. To begin with, it features very few adverts in comparison with other mainstream magazines meaning the content of the magazine is far better quality compared to the other magazines, as well as suggesting that it is being aimed towards a different target market. 
It also has a front cover that is purposely designed from the inspiration of its feature film. However this is not just a photo image from the film, it is a hand drawn illustration of the lead actor, giving it its own unique feature. The cover film also plays a valuable role in the style of the content inside the magazine, such as chapter icons and distinct headings. However, like I said, the overall layout remains the same. 

The magazine is split into 6 chapters, starting at the lead review, and finishing with future releases. By doing this it breaks the magazine down a bit so every varying member of the target audience will enjoy at least one feature each addition. 

The magazine also uses a tripartite system for ranking. The categories (which include 'Anticipation', 'Enjoyment', and 'In Retrospect') are marked out of 5 and are alongside a piece of text explaining why they have been given that mark.

Other important features to look at are the way everything is aligned correctly from the edge of the page, and how the titles and subheadings are all centred. The main image is also centred and is adapted depending on how much writing there is in the review.
The text always starts with a uppercase letter that is larger than the rest of the writing, and the font of the text is always the same ('Aparajita'). 
I noticed at how there are always 2 and a half columns worth of writing as well as the little tripartite ranking system sitting comfortably below the final half of a column. The writing in the columns are all equally spaced out and the page numbers at the bottom always consist of 3 digits (067).
There are around 5-7 paragraphs worth of writing and all the paragraphs start with an intent.
