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

So when I first started my um my product, I did do some research on what made a magazine and what

were the necessary conventions I needed to use, um and I did find that I had to include a masthead, taglines, cover lines, um as well as have a cover model, color schemes and a barcode.

As for the social issues that were included um, my whole magazine is based off self-acceptance and I talked a lot about um the hardships that people have faced and what it took for them to finally accept and love themselves for who they were. Um, I think this is a really big issue today because you will meet a lot of teenagers who are not happy with themselves, um whether that be their physical vessel or their internal selves. Um someone may feel ashamed of their sexual orientation or someone may be ashamed of the way they look, and they begin to compare themselves to other people and I think it's a very common thing to see today. *round of applause*

"I always hated social media and the Ideas it enabled into my mind as a 10-year-old." The unrealistic ways in which media portrays women tremendously affected the way Ashley started perceiving herself. She thought that in order to fit society's definition of "pretty", she must have had to carry each trait she noticed the women on TV had, a tiny waist, hairless bodies, no stretch marks, or pimples, and so on. Because Ashley fed into this preconceived idea of how a "truly...
