Ideas For Magazine Cover

I want my magazine cover to be quite conventional, this is because the conventional layouts obviously work as many magazine companies have been successful such as Empire. I will also try and use one main image so it links to my poster and again I think this style is the most successful, however it will be lighter than my poster as it needs to attract the audience. Overall I will try and mix different ideas from exsisting magazine covers and put them into mine, this is because I know these ideas work and I dont want to just use one design as that would be copying.
