1. Q2. How does you media product
represent particular social groups?

2. My music magazine is aimed at both men and
women who have a love for the indie genre of
music. Most of the production was based around
my audience feedback as that is what my target
audience would want to see.
I used my audience research to pick the colour
scheme. The colours that where most favoured to be
seen on the front of an indie music magazine were
black, red and white. I added the yellow colour to
make the magazine stand out from other professional
music magazines.
I made the title of my magazine ‘INDIE’ to
represent the main target audience and so that
it will be obvious to the target audience that it is
a indie music magazine. It says the genre of
music it represents within itself.

3. The model in the main image has real individuality
and attitudes that the audience can relate to and
she is portraying an indie style and pose. I also
based the models clothing in the main image on
one of the audience research questions, which was
‘Three words that you would associate with Indie
music’. The words that came back where
rock, atmosphere, crowd, tight jeans, skinny
jeans, checkered shirts and stretchers. So I had my
model wear skinny jeans and a checkered shirt to
represent indie.

4. The content that is on the contents page is all
based on indie bands or artists which will
represent the indie music genre and the
reader can relate to the articles and will be
interested in them as they are a fan of indie
music.
I have also stuck to the colour scheme
that I chosen based on the audience
research keeping the readers
interested all the way through as it
shows that I have listened to what they
want to see from the magazine.

5. The article that makes the The images that I have taken and I have used simple
double page spread is an used on the DPS show that the informal language that is
interview with an indie band are fun and have a special easy to understand so that
band who are breaking bond together. This will create a the reader wont lose
into the music business feeling for the reader to respect interest and will carry on
meaning that any indie the band. The band hand pose reading the interview.
band readers can relate to represents the indie side of them
their story. to the reader.
