I feel that it is very important to include as many conventions as you can, just to get that professional look. It turns a front cover into a magazine rather than looking like a poster. I learned the basic conventions in my A2 work, but I feel like I have a more established idea on what conventions should be included and where they should be. However, looking at the sort of magazine I am creating for my A2 work, most regional magazines tend to be free so may not have conventions on such as the barcode and price. Each convention has a meaning behind it and makes it distinctively look like a magazine and not just a piece of work.

This will help me when it comes to making my own magazine, as it shows what to include on each piece. It will allow me to follow guidelines to a professional magazine, and where/how they should be placed. I knew the basic conventions from my AS work, but I feel like this will help me broaden my ideas more.
