The media product represents people aged 16-24, specifically teenagers and young adults who listen to R&B music. Both females and males are represented in existing R&B music magazines, but the magazine appeals more to females since it features more female artists. Images used throughout the magazine, such as the model on the cover wearing a hat and pouting, appeal to the target R&B audience.

1. How does your media product represent
particular social groups?
The social groups that are represented in my
media product are people aged around the
typical 16-24 category, so that is teenagers and
young adults. I think this because these are the
kind of people that listen to music especially
that of the RnB genre. My magazine would
attract people within different sub genres
surrounding R&B due to the conventions that
are expressed throughout all three pages. The
current demographic represented in existing
R&B music magazines are both females and
males and I think that my magazine appeals to
both too however I think that more females
would be interested into buying it as their are
more female artists included in my magazine,
hence the reason I used a female for my front
cover. As my magazine targets audiences who
are interested in the R&B music, this is shown
through the types of images I used throughout
the mise-en-scene such as the costume and
posture of the model on all images, for
example on my front cover she is wearing a

2. hat and is pouting which is a convention of the
R&B genre. On my contents page, in one of
the images the artist is holding a microphone
which connotes music and shows the audience
that the magazine is all about music. This will
interest my target social groups as they are the
type of people interested music of this type
