Binding:
It is noticeable from analysisng the weekly magazines that they are mainly staple bound, which is a fast and efficient way of binding the publications without compromising on the cost. It is one of the cheapest ways to bind a publication, meaning the magazine can be mass produced for less money.
Higher class magazines are frequently bound in other methods. From looking at examples such as Vogue, it noticeable that more budget has gone into it to provide added durability, exuding class and making the product appear more expensive.
In context, if the magazine redesign was produced, it would be perfect bound to keep the pages together strongly and heighten the sophistication and quality.
Stock:
A lot of weekly magazines use a very low stock weight, creating a cheaply made product that does not effectivelt stay strong and pristine. I would use a higher weight of stock in order to increase durability and quality again, however not too thick as this would lower the practicality of it being a magazine.
