1.  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

     My magazine is different from other sports magazines because The World of Sports is a magazine about high school athletics opposed to the many about college and professional sports.  However, I did use conventions for my magazine layout as I tried to make my cover similar to the Sports Illustrated Cover.  For example, Sports illustrated usually has a picture of a single athlete on the front and then subheadings on the side of the cover and also has the same basic title font.  I used these conventions because it makes my magazine look more professional.

     World of Sports Magazine represented its social group of sports fans and athletes by giving the target audience a magazine with sport related contents.  The social group/audience for this magazine would be high school students and parents who are interested in local high school sports.

Image
I have made various revisions since my last quarter's submission.  I updated my cover photo to a picture of Kane Reyes.  This picture has better quality and is a better shot for a cover, as it is an action-shot and I feel that it would persuade a reader to want to open the magazine.  I also updated the text fonts and the layout of the captions on the cover to a more professionally aligned position.  On the other three pages, I changed the background layout to a solid color of white considering that it would be much more expensive to print these pages thousands of times for magazines.  My third revision was that I had added more to my title of contents making it look more realistic/professional and added another picture onto the page of Drew Warrington shooting a mid-range shot.  I feel that these pictures all support the basketball theme of the first few pages of my magazine.  I feel that I am progressing to make the intro to my magazine ...
