In my magazine I did not challenge conventions. I don't think I used any specific features to make my magazine stand out. I tried to use large and bright text to catch the eye of the reader. Other than that I would not say I used any unique conventions.
My product represents sports fans. It isn't meant for all audiences, but for those who are interested in sports. Also, it does not have any issues going on, it is more informative of what is happening in the sports word. Overall, it is representative of sports fan, which is the target audience of the magazine.
