Existing Magazines

After analysing photography plans, I can now see what photography techniques are used in existing magazines. Most if the front cover images have head room to allow space for the masthead. However, other established magazines place the artist in front of the masthead concealing part of the title, but this does not matter as the image is more of the focal point than the masthead as people will immediately recognise the magazine. I found that lead room is found more in double page spreads than on the cover.
