1. How have I represented
social groups in my product?
Scum magazine

2. I have chosen to name my magazine scum as it appeals to more rebellious,
rogue teenagers that try to follow the 'indie grunge' style inspired by quite
dark 90s grunge bands such as nirvana and have been brought back into
chart music by modern bands such as peace who's 2013 album had a song
on it entitled 'scumbag', peace also appear in my magazine, i chose to use
the font 'no messin' because it is harsh but also looks quite soft because
there are no solid hard edges i chose to have it in black so it stood out
against all the other colors on the front cover

3. The cover image image i have chosen is
not the most stereotypical image because
my model has got his eyes shut, i know
this is not usually displayed in mainstream
magazines but i think that it helps
represent the target audience i am trying
to attract as they dont particularly want
nice smiling photoshoots but quite dirty
and unplanned ones (grunge), i chose my
model because he meets the criteria of
my audience also, he has fake dirty blonde
hair, denim jacket and visual festival bands
on, because my magazine is aimed at
youth, i have used this model because he
is what my target audience are looking for.

4. I chose to put the quote 'i'm just some
kid no ones heard of' on the front of
my magazine because it is a quote that
many teenagers aged 17-21 who
maybe want to make it in the music
industry would understand and be
able to relate to, they will probably want to read it because it doesnt say why he's famous or
how hes got famous so it is entising for young readers. I chose the font for ‘RICHY HUCK’
because it is big bold and nice to look at, I chose to use this font for most of my headings
throughout the rest of my work because I thought it was the most eyecatching text.
I have chosen to use very bright colours throughout my magazine because my audience
research has shown that my target audience enjoys wearing clothes from websites such as
lazy oaf and drop dead and the general style of their website and their merchandise is very
bright and bold using fonts similar to those that I have used and using similar colour
schemes

5. The written content in my magazine represents my social groups interests,
especially musically and fashion wise, I have included many ‘hipster’ bands
such as PEACE, palma violets and jaws who are all listened to by the people I
am represnting and also have very similar norms and values to the target
audience – they are the same age, wear the same clothes, eat the same food
go out drinking etc…
