Transcript:

    Hello There! My name is Devin Gacita, candidate number 0709, and center number US154.

    Compulsory question #1: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Let's start with my magazine's use of conventions!

    Here's my magazine! Here you can see some of the conventions that I've followed. These include:

• a masthead with the magazine title, issue number, and the publication date.
• A main image that uses the rule of thirds
• shallow focus to create a blur in the background 
• a main article and description
• supporting articles and descriptions
• and finally, a barcode and price

You can even see just how similar it is to a real magazine! This is also true for my table of contents and double page spread.

    Now let's take a look into how my magazine represents social groups.

    My target audience is fashion conscious men between 16 and 25. In the world of fashion, men and their styles are underrepresented and often left on the sidelines. Because of this, I wanted to give young men a way to better develop their sense of style. Additionally, my feature article talks about the future of fashion. This could further help young adults develop their sense of style and find their place in the growing world of fashion.

    Thank you for your time!
