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

My magazine product both uses and challenges conventions. "Elysian" uses conventions in the sense that it is advertised similarly to how other magazines are advertised (using a celebrity to create emotional appeal, online version of the magazine, etc.). It also has similar articles such as makeup reviews, fashion stories, and horoscopes. However, my product also challenges conventions by including important news stories that will keep the audience informed and educated about what is going on in the world. It represents young women of many different social groups. It also focuses on social issues, especially ones such as women's rights and racial equality.
