How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
My project utilized the large, bold font found directly on the front cover of most magazines. This, along with the up-close shot of athletes training was meant to inspire readers for more action to be found within the pages of my magazine. By choosing an up close shot for my cover, my goal is to place readers right in the action, getting up close and personal with the people they were about to be reading about. I utilized the convention of branding by placing the logo on every page. The particular issue of my magazine, being wrestling challenges the conventions of high school sports magazines itself. Wrestling by far is not the most popular sport at my high school and others like it in my area. By focusing on a competitive sport that doesn't have a large following I can give athletes that deserve recognition for their hard work and talent that they deserve.
