1. Hoe does your magazine represent
different social groups?
My magazine represents a teenage audience, research shows that teenagers are
the age group that mostly listen to this genre. Although metal has been around for
along time so and adult coud pickup and read it if he was interested in metal.
People who listen to alternative music such as metal, punk and rock. Although this
magazine is aimed for people who listen to metal. Metal gets branched of into
different categories like heavy or death.
I guess the social group who would be likely to by it would be Goths seems though
research showed that was the type of stuff they listened to, although the
magazine is aimed at anybody who likes this type of music.
The magazine does not show favour to any social group for example if the
magazine was for Goths it would be mostly black in colour. It’s not however and
kept in plain colours as to not show favour to other groups. I wanted my magazine
to Have a professional look to it, instead of something that looked tacky.

2. The cloths the model is wearing would
be considered Emo. During researching
different types of social groups i have
found emo’s tend to were mostly black
clothes kind of like Goths. The band ‘My
Chemical Romance’ tend to make music
which relates more to Emo than it does
to any other social groups. As you can
see they are wearing army style jackets
like the model is in the front cover of the
music magazine.
Also the text on the page is generally
considered Gothic writing with the ‘I'm
Back’ giving the magazine a creepy look
to it. Also the writting in the pun ‘Win’
looks like it has been done in a type of
tattoo writing style. Once again research
showed that people in heavy metal
bands have lots of tattoo’s so it is
indicating the fact that the magazine is
about metal.

3. Goth’s tend to like Heavy music so they tend to wear there hair long like they do in
many metal bands out there. As you can see the model in this picture has his hair
long. The way he is dressed is also considered Gothic with the Skull and cross bone
which indicates Danger. The necklace of an angel of some sort which looks Gothic
as well as the shirt with a load of skulls going across. His attire is mostly black
which a goth’s normally choice of colour. Finally the way he is posed as he has his
hands in the Classic devil horns position which Rock stars tend to do allot. So this
page would mostly relate to the social group of a Goth with the way the model is
dressed and posed.

4. What is crucal in the magazine is the text. The
writing. It is simple and basic so it is mostly
aimed for teenagers. The way the bands talk
shows arrogance and cockiness as it describes
how great they are. I have used this to make my
target audience look up to them and make them
want to sound great and confident which would
help the teenager is someway. The text ‘Nothing
is ever normal in the world of rock and roll’ is
used to make the audience make them think
that there is always something new in this
magazine.

5. Overall i think i have analysed why my magazine
represents a certain social group. I have analysed
different ways in which my magazine would appeal to
the social group i have chosen for my magazine. I have
used text to make the chosen age group (teenagers) to
make it appeal to them more
