Definition of a magazine

A magazine is a well designed body of media, including images and text. Traditionally presented in a glossy front and back page with matt inside pages. Magazines can be published weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, bi-yearly or yearly. I believe that the magazines that are published less frequently, are generally more expensive and more niche. The content from magazine to magazine is very wide and varied, the content of the magazine creates the semiotics which then decides the genre of the magazine, and appeals to the magazines specific audience.
