The media product challenges conventions of real magazines in some ways but also follows many conventions: 1) It uses a unique font for the title but keeps the title at the top like real magazines. 2) Photos and layout of sections are like real magazines but with original photos. 3) Elements like page numbers, author credits and three-column text layout match magazine conventions.
