It does this through the clothes, facial expressions, camera angles, and color scheme used in photos throughout the magazine. Dark, casual clothes along with serious facial expressions signal a rebel attitude that this social group finds appealing. Photos from varied camera angles further engage this target audience by depicting passion for music and a desire to explore new artists. An consistent color scheme of red, white, black, and brown draws on conventions familiar to this group.

Question and answer structure, floating quotes, images, and slang are used to make the written content more appealing to younger audiences.
Media Coursework - Question 2 Hannah
The document discusses the genre, photos, people, and audience stereotypes considered for a pop music magazine targeted at 11-15 year old girls.

- Initial cover ideas feature a female indie rock artist dressed vibrantly to show females can be powerful in the genre.

- A double page article would interview the cover artist using four different photos to showcase her personality visually
Question 1
The document discusses how the student's media product, a magazine called "Replay Magazine", develops and challenges conventions of real magazines targeted at pre-teen girls. The magazine was influenced by "We Love Pop" but challenges conventions by including fewer images and coverlines than typical magazines. On the contents page, it includes one main image rather than multiple secondary images and omits previews and the masthead. The double-page spread challenges conventions by not including a prop in the main image or secondary images, focusing solely on an exclusive interview. Overall, the magazine develops conventions through its target audience and content but also challenges conventions through simplifying designs compared to real magazines.
Representation of my product through signs and signifiers
The front cover of the magazine uses a photograph of a singer holding a microphone to signify that the magazine's content will be about music. The singer's casual clothing and the live photo suggest the magazine will focus on indie/rock genres. The large text highlighting the singer's name on the cover signifies he is the subject of an interview featured inside. Within the magazine, additional live photos and topics about indie/rock bands further indicate the magazine's theme. The main article interviews the singer on the cover in a formal writing style to clearly inform the target audience of young adults.

Blog evaluation q2
- 2. Considerations: I have considered my images and article content when thinking about how I want to represent my target audience in terms of social groups. When taking my images I have thought about their age, gender, facial expressions, positioning and clothing and how I feel this represents them. For my article content I have considered themes, issues and general formality.
- 3. Front Cover Image: The artist I chose for my front cover was a young girl as I wanted my target audience of 14-17 year old girls to be able to identify with her in order to make the magazine appear more personal towards them. Her facial expression gives her a 'cute' look which portrays the POP element of the magazine and attracts the younger, 14 year old, girls. The outfit which I chose for her to wear is a sparkly dress which again allows the audience to identify this magazine as POP. However, due to the use of dark colours for the font (along with the dress) it also shows them that it isn't your classical cheesy POP magazine as it has hints of the Indie music genre. This would suit my target audience as the magazine appears more mature when compared to ones such as Top Of The POPS.
- 4. Contents Page Images: I chose this image to be in black and white to further represent the Indie style of the magazine meaning that it maintained the slightly more mature target audience. The happy facial expressions of the models in this photograph makes them appear more friendly which is further represented in the feature article about them. By avoiding eye contact with the camera it appears less serious. The use of the guitars allow the readers to see that the artists are passionate about writing their own music. The direct eye contact suggest to them that the article isn’t necessarily about their music but more about them personally as the eye contact gives a more person feel to the reader. The serious facial expressions of the artists help to anchor the serious cover line that goes with this picture. Cover line: “I think rehab was the best thing for me”. The collection of images that I used here represent a collage of photographs. I chose this type of design/layout as it suits my target audience of 14-17 year old girls as stereotypically they take a lot of pictures. By only having direct contact with the camera on some of the pictures it gives the artist a bit of an edge. This suits the Indie side of my magazine. For the mise en scene (props, clothing, facial expressions etc…) of a majority of my images I used my own imagination rather than styling my artists in similar ways to real life artists as I wanted my magazine to stand out as an individual style rather that it be compared to other real life magazines that already exist.
- 5. Feature Article Images: For this image I decided to avoid direct eye contact with the camera as I wanted the artists to appear less serious and threatening. The friendly ethos of the band is reinforced throughout the rest of the magazine and the main article. I did this as I want the readers to identify with them as normal people rather than musical artists. The casual clothing of the two males shows that they are just the same as everybody else. The checkered shirt especially is a very popular style within Indie social groups. The dress on the female artist is used to show more of the POP element of the magazine and to appeal more towards the younger, 14/15 years old, girls that are reading the magazine.
- 6. The direct eye contact in this picture creates more of a serious vibe to this page in the article. I did this as the content of the page is about their tour and music rather than them personally. With this image I wanted the audience to be able to see that the artists are serious about their musical career. The meaning behind the different poses for these three images is that I wanted them to be seen individually to allow the readers to interpret them differently. The first image the artist is pulling a serious facial expression whilst holding a guitar. This shows the readers that he is the serious musician in the band. The second image shows a different personality as he is smiling and has direct eye contact with the camera making it appear more personal. The final image shows that the female is the joker of the group. I chose for all of the artists to act differently as my target audience is 14-17 year old girls who are easily influenced by the media and celebrities and I wanted to create the idea that every one is different and there is no “ideal personality”.
