I think one way that my magazine challenges the conventions of pop magazines aimed at teenagers is that I didn't heavily edit the photograph, I left it quite natural as I only got rid of one blemish which was really obnoxious and becoming a focal point which I didn't want and I also brightened it only slightly to emphasise the colours, other than that I think that the main model displays a celebrity that is far more normal looking which helps the target audience relate more and connect to that character. It similar however in terms of the model due to the fact I am displaying a pop music artist which is a convention of pop magazines front covers therefore I use this instead of challenging it.
I think throughout my magazine I used conventions more than challenging or developing because I wanted to make the magazine look really obvious to the target audience and I wanted it to really fit in with a pop music magazine as I didn't want it to sway towards just being a teenage magazine.
The concept of an interview is a very conventional thing to apply to a double page spread and especially with the design elements I have put on with the '5 facts' and pictures, definitely uses the concept of an interview as this is really common within real media products on the market today.
