When looking at magazine contents pages you will see again, like magzine front covers that they all have the same or similar conventions and the layout of the page is also similar in every magazine. magazines have to do this otherwise a reader may struggle to understand the information thats on the page if the layout is complicated.

Again i have shown completely different magazine contents pages, but when you look at them and the conventions that they share you notice that in many ways they are quite similar E.G. layout and the way the information is presented on the page are pretty much the same. and they all contain images specific to the articles they have written about. again magazines have to do this so the customers can easily understand what they are trying to get across.
