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

2. My magazine is a mixed
genre of music, to cover all
areas in music.
The cover lines along the
side of the front cover;
Staring Miley
Cyrus, Beyoncé and kesha
show this. All these artists
have different styles and
produce different genre
styles. By having a mix of
different artists it supports
my genre of having a mixed
music magazine.

3. Cover lines
The cover lines target a more of a older
teenage audience in the 20s. Including
lifestyle activities of the younger artists in the
music industry living the ‘party life’. These
are stereotypically the life of teenagers in
society today. Also ‘back in rehab’ tends to
show what artist get up to from alcohol and
taking drugs. I'm representing my magazine
to a slightly older audience.
These type of cover lines would not been
seen in a different genre of magazine such as
‘Pop’ because there cover lines would tend
to be aimed towards a younger audience.

4. Cover models
The cover models in most magazine follow
the main conventions.
• Solo artist will have a bigger and close
up image, whereas a band or group will
tend to have a long shot to fit all the
members of the band or group in.
• Magazines usually have the artist
looking down the camera lens in the
picture. This is to get the readers to
have a connection with the magazine
because it looks like the artist are
looking directly at you.

5. The picture takes up the whole page,
so they usually layout the text around
the artists face to cause less
distraction from the image.
In the top magazine the text wraps
around the artist to avoid distraction
from the magazine
Below this magazine has the text
slightly overlapping the picture
causing the picture to be less of the
main focus, however, the text does
not distract from the picture.

6. My cover model
Many magazine staring female cover
models usually objectify the female.
For example the way Nicki Minaj is
dressed and the way she is posing in
vibe magazine supports this.
My model has
a more
sophisticated
look. This
appeals to a
different target
audience with
a more of a
mature group
of people.
