I initially didn't go quite as in depth and didn't properly answer the question. So, I decided look at more samples and revise it.My final answer: My magazine, Local Travel, both uses and challenges conventions. For example, my masthead on the cover page is very traditional as it is at the bottom of the page is bold capital letters, as most magazines are. But what my magazine avoids are challenges is the basic cluttered layout of traditional magazines. My magazine is very minimalistic as the cover only has the masthead, website name, and titles of only three of the articles. This also goes for my table of contents as it includes a photo and the article titles only. I decided to go with a more simplistic look as I thought it was different than most magazines and looked cleaner. I think now and days the simpler the better, as people don’t really want things to be pushed in their faces. So, I think my magazine does a good job at balancing simplicity while still catching someone's eye. My magazine is built to represent all social groups by finding something for everyone. This particular issue of LOCAL Travel focuses on the issue of Coronavirus and how to stay occupied while also staying safe. It represents this COVID-19 issue by providing 5O things to do while being safe. This list of things provides different activities for the entire family, ages two to ninety-two! Overall, my magazine represents one social issue in specific while also representing all social groups. My initial response to question 1: My product is a travel magazine. The way that my travel magazine challenges conventions is by focusing on travel local to my area. Most travel magazines are based on national or international travel destinations. I decided to challenge this concept because of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Coronavirus has caused most traveling to take a pause, so I wanted to make a magazine listing fun things you can do locally. Staying safe should be everyones top priority right now, but that doesn't mean all fun has to end. This is how my magazine challenges the norms of the magazine industry.
