From my foundation portfolio, I am already aware of the key conventions for a magazine. Therefore, I am able to experiment more with the format and further stretch the boundaries in a style that makes my product more unique. In all of the formats, the masthead takes up the top third of the front cover, this is because from research in both my foundation and advanced portfolio the most successful covers use this. This is important as it affects the images that I chose, as they must allow enough room for the masthead at the top of the page. However, as seen bellow in existing products, it is also a feature to have the image overlapping the masthead as it is more signifiant to the audience and therefore can't be hidden by the masthead.
