Question #1: How does my product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
My magazine is a lifestyle magazine and shows how a large corporation is adapting to changes during a global pandemic, specifically Disney. Disney means a lot to so many people and a lot of people want to know what is happening at the "Happiest Place on Earth." Through spreading out the ride queue to allowing only 35% capacity in their parks, Walt Disney World is challenging conventions when it comes to amusement parks and efficiency and safety during a global pandemic. The cover of my magazine includes a picture of Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom Park in Orlando, FL. I wanted it to be easy for the reader to understand what kind of magazine I produced and using a picture of a land in a Disney Park makes it easy for the audience to grasp onto the idea. Also, the use of neon and retro font stays true to the Tomorrowland theming of the magazine. In the Table of Contents, I used a template and added a combination of my pictures and pictures from Disney to make it look appealing to audience and get them to want to read my magazine. I put my two-page spread topic first, so the reader would know this is the most important piece of the magazine. The colors are very simple, yet very “Disney.” I included a white and a light blue which resembles the sky in my magazine cover photo. For the font, I didn’t want to use the “Disney” font because it can be hard to read, but I used HEY GOTCHA! which gives off a modern Disney vibe. For the Two Page Spread, I used my own picture that I took while riding Big Thunder Mountain in Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL for the first page. I also added a Walt Disney quote to keep the Disney theme. My topic of “The Top 10 Attractions Coming Soon!” makes it easy to add everything that is important to know, and it makes it easy for the reader to understand what is happening. For each attraction I wrote about, I enlarged the first letter, so it grabs the attention of the reader and they know where to look. I also added a picture of the concept art for Tron Lightcycle Run, so it gets the audience excited for new attractions to open. The issue at hand is the COVID-19 pandemic. And although some people may not make it to the Disney parks, there is always Disney + available for those wanting to go, but unfortunately, cannot. My magazine could give people insight, whether they are Disney fanatics or are planning on traveling to the parks, on what is happening inside and outside the parks. Also, it gives the reader something to look forward to after COVID dies down, while Disney is continuing construction in the parks.
