Finding a Barcode



It came upon the time where I needed to include a barcode in my magazine; with this I also done some research which I went onto the web and looked into some of the other magazines such as “VIBE”, or “Rolling Stone” which all had barcodes. Barcodes are there in order to speed up the checkout process and keep better track of inventory, originally it was for grocery products but due to its success it then spread out across to other products. Such websites like http://www.slideshare.net/asmediag12/front-cover-music-magazine-analysis-15483710)

Looking below where some of the magazines have the barcodes one the left hand side in a horizontal way and some are on the right where there are vertical, this is all determined by the position or layout of the front page such as the position of the image. In the end my magazine had a barcode on the bottom right hand side with the price directly above it.
