1. Question 2-How does your media product represent
particular social group?
My media music magazine is based on the genre Indie/Pop as it
involves…
APPEALING
…And more that make it to younger readers such as
Late teens/ Young Adults
2. That will be interested in my or
Which are featured in my Magazine, therefore promoting it to the
younger genre of the teenage social group.
On my front cover…
There are many front covers with a band as the
main image and represents a stereotypical
representation of an Indie magazine by having the
artists usually with instruments looking straight
down the lenses. Also another stereotype would be
not as many cover lines which doesn’t make it
overcrowded and not to over face to look at which
may make it more appealing to younger readers by
having younger artist on the front page to promote
it more like on the other music magazines. As well
as that the picture doesn’t look specifically higher
or lower class due to what they are wearing or the
type of pose they have, therefore the type of class
to buy this magazine would be any also due to the
fact that the price of the magazine isn’t too
expensive.

3. On the contents page…
On the contents page, uses of the colour
scheme of white black and maroon
Which makes it simple yet effective as it draws
the reader in and doesn’t distract them from
the information.
As well as that, only having 3 simple colours
like in NME Magazine it gives a
chance for the younger readers to
become compelled and remember it
the next time they see the magazine,
encouraging them to buy it or view it on social
media as it is somewhere they would read
things like this.
Finally my Double page…
Features a stereotypical layout as the
image is full size on one side of the page
and the article is on the opposite side
with a kicker at the top. This will help
promote my magazine to the young
audience as the page itself looks
appealing and interesting with the use of
the colour scheme and image that
involves an eyelevelshot with her looking
directly down the lenses but also a
indirect image of the other artist which
makes the reader interested and wonder about where she is looking.
