Do titles or pictures attract readers?

I think a good combination of titles and pictures is what really attracts readers of magazines. Pictures make readers look, but they do not necessarily make the reader want to read the article. The title is what makes the reader want to read the rest of the article. Although, if there was only a title, the reader probably would not notice the article as much if there was not a picture to make things interesting.

 

This magazine cover is an example of using a picture and a title in the right way. The title is interesting and it attracts the readers. The picture shows what the title is trying to say. Together, the title and picture do their jobs well.
