As well as, who is on the cover, selling lines, cover lines, etc. They way the cover is decorated and the side stories usually is what is used to catch the readers attention and make them want to indulge. The magazine conventions specifically are placed on covers to target the audience they would like to read their magazine. It also depends on if the magazine has a wide range of topics to cover or if it wants to focus its aim on particularly one thing. The main purpose of magazine conventions is to grant the reader an idea of what they will be reading in the magazine.
