Magazines and newspapers are almost the same (referring to the typesetting of words), the only difference is that western-style picture placement pays more attention to neatness and western artistic aesthetics than Chinese ones. Chinese magazines are mostly one page and one picture. Even if the remaining space is large, they will not be put more (not discussed under special circumstances). Chinese magazine's label is usually right below the picture. Pictures in western-style magazines don't have to be marked with words, and the descriptions of pictures are generally reflected in words!
