1. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My music magazine represents a wide range of music types so I have tried to show this through the
photography of my magazine by photographing different styled social groups to relate to my wide
range of audiences .
Cover image - (See image below) for my cover image I have taken an image which relates to a lot of
young adults, as you can see the image is of a young male adult smoking and playing his guitar, I
have positioned him against a wall as if he is chilled out and making his own music which is what
many teens today love to do. He’s dresses in Topman clothes which is the biggest and most popular
boy fashion shop so this will appeal to most teens ; girls by recognising he is dressed very stylish and
boys as they like to wear the same clothes as the male in the image. I have chose this model as he is
quite good looking and has a “famous” look about him , by this I mean he looks very much like a lot
of popular male singers at the moment for example, The Kooks , John Mayer,Ed Shearn and so on
which are always slapped on the cover of magazines as people look up to them and fantasise to be
and look like their front cover role models. This image is representing the indie/folk music lovers of
today’s young adults.

2. As my magazine is called “variety” the images I have included so a variety of music artists, as you can
see this image below is an image of JLS I took at one of their concerts. This image is representing a
whole type of different social group , JLS are a hip-hop R&B style music artists so but including
images and stories of them i will attract male and females which enjoy this upbeat and fast style of
music.JLS are also very current at the moment and always in the charts so this will attract young
teens that always keep up with the current chart music of 2012.
Lastly this is an image of my friend who I have made into a Pop/Soul style singer just like Adele,
Duffy , Lana Del Ray and so on. I have given her a 1950’s style look and a cheeky pose and named her
“Miss Morgan” . By including this image of a different style music artist it is widening my audience
more to older readers that enjoy this style of music from their childhood memories brought back in
to 2012 or just simply young people that love the 1950’s Pop/Soul Style of music.

3. Overall I have included a wide range of images which is making me reach out to all different social
groups , I haven’t made a stereotypical music magazine based on all the chart music that just I
would enjoy but made a magazine which should appeal to many different groups sharing a wide
range of musical skills and talents .
