This is a response as to how my media product represents different social groups.

1. QUESTION 2- HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR
SOCIAL GROUPS?

2. On the front cover of my magazine, my main image looks
very rebellious and charismatic, this will attract male
teenagers and men of around the ages 20, this is because she
looks seductive, stylish and outrageous, as she is making
direct address with the readers which creates that sense of
intimacy. There will also be teenage girls or women of the
same ages aspiring to be or look like her, and look up to her
as a role model. I took a mid shot of the girl to make the
picture look fun and quirky. I wanted her to break the
conventional teenage look and go for a different style,
because it ties in with the house style of my media product.
She is represented in a positive light, as being young fun and
energetic which is also displayed throughout my other
pictures for my tag lines. They are successful young people
that will be admired and looked up too.

3. My artist is also represented in a positive light within the text on my
double page spread, it is a question and answer with the reporter and the
artist, her response is very optimistic and enthusiastic. Which shows she
really cares about her career in the music industry and she uses enticing
language and spoilers to make her fans want to read on and look up to her
as a role model. Also at the beginning of her response she doesn’t gloat
about how successful her band is, or how she is the lead singer and all the
spotlight is on her, which could potentially have an impact on the attitude
of teenage girls in school or women in their jobs. Also because my artist is
in a group, ( with another male) and she is the main one it attracts a wider
audience as it is breaking the normal conventions.

4. For my contents page, my artist is featured with the other band
member. Their pose makes them look happy, energetic and
carefree, which is represented in the music they produce, teenage
girls and boys can relate too this and will be interested in reading
their story and listening to their music.
This photo is of another artist that is featured inside my magazine. She
is another young solo female artist that has recently split up from her
group to pursue a career by herself, this would attract and inspire older
females or teenage girls to look like her and follow her attitude as her
body language is a connotation of rebelliousness and independence. It
might also attract males of the ages 18-20 because she look’s very
mature and sexy. She is wearing red lipstick which suggests she is
powerful and dominating.
