Title of magazine: The title of the magazine is "More". The placing of the title is a generic convention as most magazines have the title here so that when the reader looks it is the first word they read. Also the sizing of the title is large so that the reader knows exactly what magazine they are about to read.
Price: The price is top left hand corner and reads "WOW! We're only... 85p". The language used to display the price is to reel in the customer to make them buy it because it is so cheap. The language is persuasive and true therefore gives a good effect. This is also a generic convention as most magazines like to advertise their prices as cheap so that they gain more readers.
Front page picture: The main front page picture is of Katy Perry. This is good for target audience because fans of Katy Perry are more than likely to buy this magazine. The main front picture is a generic convention as it is a good way to catch the readers eye and really draw them in.
Advertisements of fashion: The left hand side of the magazine cover shows a ray of clothing for "Valentines Buys". This is a great thing to put on the front of the magazine to give the reader an insight to what is inside.
Target audience: I think the target audience for this magazine is mainly women and girls. I think this because all the cover of the magazine has female related pictures spread across it such as the clothing. I believe that More magazine have targeted their audience very well.
Some good points. I can see that you have considered generic conventions and target audience. However, you could consider the use of colour and make specific comments about more of the cover lines. You will need to be analytical during the course.
