The key conventions for a magazine is to have a master head which is the main title and is the title of the magazine. The magazine must have a main image which is in the centre of the mag and what the magazines main feature is. The magazine must have a bar code which is at the bottom of the page and usually contains the price of the magazine. Most Magazines have slogans which sell the magazine and the main attraction. The magazine must have cover lines which are what is in the magazine like the main features and they are all over the magazine. Lastly the magazine must have a date line. 

GQ Magazine

1. The first thing that I would like to use from GQ is way the image slightly blocks the logo. 
2. I would like to use their top right cover line which is in bold which tells the audience about a feature and it is on line with the title of the magazine
3. I would like to borrow the text boxes they use on the front page which contains facts 

Empire magazine
1. I would like to create a sticker which is used on the empire magazine. 
2. I would like to use their cover line which is used right at the bottom of the magazine cover which has bullet points of people who feature in the magazine. 

Four Four Two 
1. The one idea that I will like to use from this magazine is the Plus that they use to show tell the audience what is in the magazine and it only takes a small amount of space on the double page spread.
