1. My product uses or challenges conventions because it doesn't have a standard look. For example a standard women's health magazine doesn't use the same font we do. For our magazine project we used an abundance amount of fonts. While standard magazines a couple of different ones. Standard health magazines usually have a font for titles then a different font for the actual article, but we used a different font for every categories which helps make the words pop more. Another example is that we wrote magazine on the side of our title. Standard health magazine don't really have that written but if they do it's not written the way we rote ours. This makes our magazines different. But my magazine uses conventions because we have both pictures and titles in our magazine. The use of titles and magazines really make the readers want to read the article.
My magazine project represent social groups or issues because our magazine is a health magazine. This means that people interested in health are going to read the magazine. For example my magazine I interviewed a nurse practitioner. This article can help people that want to become a nurse or are interested in the field. What people can get out of reading my article is that they can know what job skills it takes and also what school requirements you have to do to get a job like that. Also in the article it describes the challenges that nurses go through which can help another health care person relate to the stories. But the magazine also has health tip and workouts which can help someone that want to become healthy and stay in shape. Overall this my magazine focuses on health and it opened up to health tips and workouts.
