How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
The product I am using is a magazine. With this magazine, I am going to use all of the conventions that are typical for a magazine. I will be using two models on the front cover, coverlines to draw the reader in, and a masthead to inform people what this magazine is about. However, when it comes to the topic, I will be following conventional themes, but I have a spin on it. There aren’t many American made Pakistani magazines that outline and celebrate the culture.
My magazine is all about being from Pakistan and living in America. This reaches out to all the people in America who are Pakistani or are children of immigrants trying to get other people’s perspective of what they are going through. It will be about how to balance the two cultures as well as highlighting fashion and food. It will be an informative lookbook- discussing opinions and experiences while showing off the beautiful culture with a series of photos.
