This document summarizes the ways in which a student magazine project uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It notes that the student magazine includes a masthead, main cover photo, pull quotes, and page numbers like a real magazine. However, it does not directly copy the style model magazine and challenges conventions by using fewer colors, not including photos at the bottom of the cover, and not dividing text into columns like the style model. The student also challenges conventions by having a smaller main image and more text on double page spreads compared to the style model magazine.
