The document discusses how the media product represents different social groups through design choices. It represents young people through casual language focused on energy. Both males and females are represented through a purple color that appeals to both genders. The magazine represents a middle-class, white audience through photographs of white indie people and design elements that appeal to those from poorer backgrounds.

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

2. In my media product young people have been represented in the
use of language I have chosen:

3. In my media product both males and females have been
represented in the use of colours I have chosen, as well as this some
of the colours have been chosen to fit in with the types of people
that read Indie music magazines:
The purple I have chosen, although
slightly more female oriented, is a shade
that would appeal to both genders. I chose to use black as one of
the main colours in my colour
scheme as it is commonly used
in Indie music magazines as a
base colour.

4. Class and Ethnicity
By using the rough edges on the boxes it appeals to
my middle class target audience, who like the rough
and ready look, and have pride in being from poorer,
less stable backgrounds.
My magazine represents the typical white, teenage,
Indie genre by using photographs of white Indie
people. Although the genre does not only appeal to
white people, the area I live in (York), has very few
ethnic minorities, making it harder for me to include
photographs of Indie teenagers of all ethnic
backgrounds.
e.g. bands like Rizzle Kicks
