The student magazine challenges conventions of real magazines by not including a selling line or consistent color scheme. While it lacks these elements, it does incorporate conventions such as a date line, cover line, and barcode. The magazine represents students aged 12-21 by featuring them in educational work environments on the cover and in the contents page. A college may distribute the magazine to advertise its programs and services to prospective students. The target audience is students, particularly teenagers and postgraduates, as the magazine focuses on educational topics rather than gossip or fashion.
