8. How does your media product represent particular social groups? As my target audience was 16-22 year olds who were interested in R&B music my main focus was to convey this through the use of imagery and language. Throughout the imagery I tried to focus the attention on a laid back attitude yet re-evaluating the old style of R&B. My attention was aimed at not the new style of hip hop R&B but the old school style aimed at just music. I used the imagery to instantly reflect the idea of R&B whilst using the language to portray the old style. The fresh tone to the article allows my audience to feel at ease within the magazine and can easily relate to their own lives. This produces a friendly approach as the audience can understand the artist’s point of view. Stylising the artist to look casual yet hip can enable my audience to connect to the artist, as it is a common look. Showing how down-to-earth my artist is allows the audience to feel they can aspire to be whatever they like, no matter what their background is.

10. Audience feedback From the masthead can you tell what the magazine offers? Do you think the Double Page Spread's language represents the idea of R&B well? Why or Why not? Yes No Of the pictures used do you think they represent my R&B look? 40% of the above thought my photo’s were more suited for a jazz music magazine however the other 60% said the way the model was stylised suits the R&B look. Although all thought my magazine’s target audience was 16-22 year olds – which was the aim.
