Conventional Magazine Cover

Many other magazines follow most of these conventions, but now and again some attempt to break the conventions in an attempt to increase sales and gain more audiences. For example, NME always position their mast head in the top left hand corner of the page, whereas most other conventional magazine's position their's right across the top of the page. Another example is Guitarist magazine, who often have an image of a guitar across the page, instead of the convention of having a person on the front. Using conventional methods will draw in audiences, but going a step further and breaking conventions, will attract more audiences because it is something different and exciting, and therefore will attract a larger range and larger quanities of people.
