Do I want Banners, Puffs and Pugs in my Magazine

I would like to include all of these features in my music magazine. The main reason being that it would be something that would make people turn the pages and keep reading, or just catch someone’s eye to make them pick it up in a shop. It will also make the magazine look of high quality.
