CCR Question #1 Draft

Our group's magazines all represent womans sports. More specifically, my magazine focuses on cheerleading. It is able to clarify some of the things that cheerleaders do and are capable of. It also mentions specific information that a person considering cheerleading may be interested in. This would lead to them being interested in the content and then wanting to read the magazine.

Some of the conventions that were used throughout my magazine include a bold font. This really helped to draw the reader's attention to where the more important information was. Another one was the use of the orange background color. This tied into all of the other pictures that included orange as the main color. Also, the variety of photos and subjects being photographed helped to keep the readers interested in what they were looking at. A convention that was challenged was the layout of the text on the cover page. Traditionally, it would be straight across the top, but in my magazine, it goes along the top and the side of the page. I chose to do this because it almost frames the subject of the photo and it is a more creative way.
