Two Different Magazines, Same Sort of Features

This is a front cover exploring magazine conventions. I've chosen this specific front cover from the NME magazines because of it's use of the rule of thirds, and I have placed lines over the page to show this.

The kicker and the graphic feature both occupy seperate corners of the bottom half of the front cover, the headline sits on the dividing line between middle and bottom and the anchorage text sits directly below it. Everything seems to have it's own place on the page which makes it accessible for consumers to see what they want, without everything being cramped together. This makes it easier on the consumer to see something they're interested in and more likely to buy the magazine as a result.
