This document summarizes how a pop magazine represents its target audience of young teenage girls aged 13-16. The magazine features a young, innocent-looking pop artist on the cover wearing casual clothing with little makeup and a smile. Graphics like hearts are used throughout the magazine as they appeal to the target audience. The content focuses on popular summer looks and top pop songs to inform the target audience of trends, using bright fonts and images to draw their attention. Overall, the magazine aims to represent the fun, playful nature of pop music for teenage girls through its visual design and topics.

1. How does your
media product
Represent particular
social groups?

2. My pop magazine represents young teenagers.
I’ve done this through my front cover by making
my artist look young and innocent but is also
clearly older then my target audience.
My target audience is aimed at people like this
As you can see they age from 13-16. You can see
that they are wearing light colours I have used
these colours in my magazine (pink, blue). Looking
at the artist in the images you can see what their
fan base is. This is why I have used both artist in
my front cover or content page. You can also tell
that it mainly girls hence why my target audience
is girls. You can also see that they don't wear a lot
of make up and don't look aggressive my artist
has very little make-up on and is smiling.
They way their fans dress is also causal nothing
dressy, even Ariana is slightly casual. My artist is
over dress she is in a casual top for both images.
You can tell that my fan base doesn’t look rich.

3. As you can see most pop magazines have their artist
centred and usually is a close up/mid shot. This is
because teenagers like to be distracted and if an image
is big and bold it stands out to them, this is why I have a
mid shot. It is always why I have used different
fonts/sizes and colour it to draw my target audience
into all features in the magazine.
Graphics also help. Graphics is usually linked to girls
who like to doodle e.g. hearts, starts, geometric shapes
which is why I used graphics in my magazine. Hearts
will usually be in a pop magazine because it represents
the playfulness in the
magazine it is targeted to 13-
16 year old girls who usually
draw heart or like hearts,
teenaged girls like “Cute”
things which is why pop
magazines use them. It relates
to them and its why they
attract this target audience
and it is also why I used it in
my magazine.

4. My magazine contains a “The Hot Summer Look” I don’t this because its something
my target audience would like. ‘Pop’ means popular therefore my target audience
wants to know what the most popular look of summer is this year.
It is also the same reason why I have got the top 5 songs in the pop charts in my
content page it represents pop and give my target audience what they want to know.
All my images are age appropriate for my target audience. Their facial expression are
happy and they look like their having fun which is what pop music is about. I believe
my magazine has this look which means I have correctly representing my magazine for
my genre of pop and have considered my social group in every pinch of my magazine.
