2. How does my magazine represent age?
My magazine represents the ages
of 16 – 40 and this fits in well for
the age I set for my demographic
because the content and the use of
language mostly applies to my age
that I have targeted my magazine
to.

3. How does my magazine represent
gender?
The gender is male and my
magazine fits in the male gender
because its mostly males that tend
to listen to the Hip-Hop & UK Rap
genre. In addition, the models that
are on my front cover, contents &
double page spread are all male.
Also, the colours that are presented
are manly colours such as black
which mainly stands out to be a
manly colour.

4. How does my magazine represent
ethnicity?
My magazine fits with every
ethnicity because Hip-Hop is a
broad genre that is available
worldwide and spread across
the world & my magazine
name “M.A.T.S” (Music Across
The Scene) signifies that the
music we present in the
magazine for artist that are
making an impact in the music
game from what country that
they are representing.
Also, the fact that my models
are from different ethnicities.

5. How does my magazine represent
region?
My magazine represents different regions as it’s
a worldwide magazine so it concludes that it
applies to all. Also, the United Kingdom all
includes England, Scotland, Wales & Northern
Ireland.

6. How does my magazine represent
class?
My magazine represents every
class because I wanted my
magazine to be able to apply to at
least everyone to it brings out a
broader audience and for
magazine to be able to relate to
everyone in every working or
living class. Also, the cost of the
magazine will be assigned to what
ever we feel is understandable for
classes. In addition, we will have a
subscription on our website that
will have previews of the latest
issue and we’ll let our audience
pick how much that’d like to pay
for it and it’ll be posted to their
selected delivery option.

7. How does my magazine represent
sexuality?
My magazine doesn’t really represent sexuality
but my magazine doesn’t discriminate any sorts
of sexuality because M.A.T.S thinks that
everyone should be seen as being equal no
matter your sexuality.

8. How do the models, layout design and language
combine to represent a particular social group?
The models, layout design and
language combine to represent a
particular social group because the
model’s clothing symbolises his
character and the way a stereotypical
Hip-Hop artist would dress. Also, the
layout and language that is used in the
DPS, Contents page and Front Cover is
Hip-Hop styled and because of the
colours used such as Black, Red &
White. This all fits into the Hip-Hop
social group because it ticks all the
boxes needed to be in the Hip-Hop
section for a typical social group.

9. Does the magazine reflect the representation of the
intended audience or is it using stereotypes/stock
types?
My magazine reflects and
represents both because the
look of the magazine and the
way the models are dressed are
stereotypical and directly into
the Hip-Hop stereotype. But on
the other hand my magazine
was intended to reflect on its
intended audience because of
the artists names that are
included on and within the
magazine are names of big
artists which automatically sets
my magazine into the Hip-Hop
genre.
