What are some typical magazine articles/features?
I’m making a mock magazine for my World Lit. class based off of “The Thousand and One Nights”. I have a cover, ad, and main feature article (an interview), and am planning on including letters to the editor. What are some other typical magazine articles or features that I should include? This doesn’t need to be full length but I would like to have enough stuff.

Fashion pages, you could have fun with that one unless the magazine is completely serious
Food section
Cartoon
“How to” articles, or tips, like “10 Tips to Talk Yourself Out of a Tight Spot.”
Recipes
Health and Wellness – “Up All Night Due to Stress?”
Brad and Angelina, and Oprah, and Obama, and now Tiger, and Ellen ad nauseum..the only mags I read are in the supermarket while waiting for my turn to swipe the goods..
Ads for made up stuff are always fun. And also some quizzes and interesting facts could be cool.
There’s always some editorial feature in a magazine like, “10 iPhone Apps to Have RIGHT NOW!” or “10 Best Ways to Eat Rutabaga” or “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Robert Pattinson!” or “10 Worst Celebrity Beach Bodies”
And then there’s the agony aunt column:
“Dear Aiisha:
I’m trapped in a palace where a guy is holding me prisoner and forcing me to tell him stories. If I don’t, he’s threatened to cut off my head. I’d call the police, except they all seem to work for him! I’m exhausted. Worse still, I’m running out of stories. I’ve been given a 5-minute break, which is how I can write this. Oh, nuts, he’s coming back! I hope this messenger bird gets to you! HELP ME, PLEASE!
Sincerely,
Scheherazade”
