One way the media product represents social groups is through the images used. Photographs on the cover, contents page, and double page spreads feature typical indie styles, clothing, and festivals that the target audience can relate to. Models are shown holding a guitar or wearing indie fashion to attract readers interested in indie music. Captions also reference indie stars and their style to engage the target audience. The language is informal and lists indie bands and concerts to appeal to big indie fans.

1. Evaluation question 2
How does your media
product represent particular
social groups?

2. Indie Genre
I used lots of contents throughout all my work. I done this to give as much
information about indie news, gossip, gigs. To attract the widest range of indie
fans.
Colour
All of the text in my magazine
are bold and stand out. This
attracts the audience and it is
an indie style.

3. Photographs
One of they ways my media product represents different social groups is through
images. On my front cover contents page and double page spread.
I have used this picture on my contents
page. It is from V festival this will relate
to my audience as it is a popular indie
summer festival and so the target
audience will be either excited to
attend it or interested in going.
This is my main image on my front
cover. My target audience may feel
attracted to my magazine as the model
is holding a guitar and wearing indie
make up. The target audience can relate
to this image as a typical indie reader
would play the guitar and as soon as a
reader that plays the guitar see’s this
image they will automatically be
interested in my magazine.

very fashionable at the time and
fits into the indie social group. I
have put this image in my magazine
as people who listen to indie music
and wear these sorts of indie
clothes can relate to my magazine
making them want to read it.
I have used this picture of
Ellie Golding on my contents
page as she is a typical indie
star who is wearing indie
clothes. So people who read
this magazine can get excited
to read about her and also
relate to her music clothes
and style.

5. I used this picture on my
double page spread. Jack
coggins is wearing an
indie shirt that is very
fashionable at the
moment. I have attracted
my target audience
because the image is so
big it stands out and
attracts attention.

6. Language
The language I used in my magazine is informal as I think it represents my social
group. I listed many indie bands and concerts which would attract big indie
fans.
I have used the cover
line “ FOO FIGHTERS
ROCK LEEDS” implying
that my target
audience is young as
the majority younger
