Magazines: Printed vs. Online. EP 9

English from all angles! Format has a big impact on a magazine’s layout. Our kitchen layout affects the way we cook. Our office layout affects how we work. Since most publishing companies allow you to subscribe to both print and digital versions of their magazines, preference for one format over the other depends a lot on the content’s layout. Layout is the key idea here. The way pictures, photographs, text and ads are distributed, or laid out, has a big impact on how we read a magazine. The layout of practically anything –our car’s dashboard, our computer’s keyboard or our home’s furniture – plays a significant role in the way we interact with it.
