Style sheet analysis - Media Magazine

These pictures below show myself annotating a style sheet from an article in Media Magazine. A style sheet is a sheet showing the characteristics of the layout of the article, such as columns, pictures, headers etc.


In this picture you can see the overall article on a double paged spread. You can also see I have highlighted and annotated the article accordingly showing the key characteristics.
