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

2. My magazine represents middle class, working class, employed and
lower class people because of the price my magazine is currently at
which is £3.99, this is not expensive for a music magazine. My
magazine represents professionals because of the high quality
maintained throughout my magazine (e.g. Front cover, contents
page and double page spread) The colours used, gold and white
represent wealth because gold is the colour of money or value and
the black writing represents professionalism because it is simple and
standard to use black font. People who are on benefits would be
able to afford my magazine and would be attracted to it because of
the bright colours, it would stand out on a shelf in a supermarket,
also they would be attracted to the magazine because they may
know the artists on the front. My magazine represents the upper-
class people because of the models costumes, they are smart but
with a modern effect on them. The Vintage era is was very much
about class and status and looking the part therefore this would
appeal to them very much.

3. My magazine represents people who live in cities and towns
because in general people who live in rural places and travel
by bus, train or aeroplane, they take something with them to
read, my magazine would appeal to these social groups
because my target audience is people ages 16-20, people
aged 16 -17 cannon drive so these types of transport are a
necessity . People read the magazine on public transport
which encourages other people to buy the magazine. People
from the vintage era would be inclined to buy ‘New Vintage’
magazine because it is unusual for magazine to be made
about vintage music. My magazine represents schools
because of the target audience being 16 year olds who are
more than likely still at school.

being 16-20, people go to youth clubs to hang out with their friends
and listen to music and in my magazine it gives advice as to where
free music will be released. ‘New Vintage’ represents customers by
the information which is given on the front of the magazine, it gives
important information as the what is in the magazine, the contents
page also does this so before the customer buys the magazine it
gives them an insight as the whether they would like to buy the
magazine or not. Teen groups is represented because there are teen
groups who are interested in the vintage era, my magazine

to see vintage artists and find out exclusive information about their
favourite artists. ‘New Vintage’ represents educational groups by
informing the reader on true information, educating them on the
history of music.

cover the model is a young artist. It also represents male and
female audience because there are male and female models
on the front cover and there is no gender bias colour scheme.
Parents and grandparents are represented in the magazine
because they are old enough to enter competitions and they
would be interested in the artists in the magazine because
they are from the older generation so they would remember
some of the songs the artists are covering from the vintage
era. Most parents were brought up with this kind of music.
Single parents are represents in ‘New Vintage’ because on the
front cover there are no couples, the main model is on her
own, single, showing her power as an individual by dominating
the front cover.

widowed people because the model, Cour on the front
cover represents individuality and importance on her
own, this would attract people of these statuses. My

showing they are enemies in their types of music they
produce being so different. Sisters are represented
because there are many female singers on throughout
the magazine. Brothers are represented due to the
amount of male artists in the magazine . Gay and

of gay and bisexual people.

magazine it is targeted at parents. Social
networking sites are available to join which also

provide helpline numbers. An improvement I would
make to my magazine if I had to do it again would
be to include more features of people with
disabilities. People with addictions are

both pictures of him in the magazine.
