The media product represents younger demographics by featuring a 17-year-old female solo artist, Lily Wilkinson, as the target audience is 16-26 years old. The article provides a positive representation of her age group by showing her as relatable through a quote. Women are represented in a non-stereotypical way without provocative portrayals. Mise-en-scene creates a positive, exciting and carefree representation of the young age range through facial expressions and masculine yet covered clothing of the artist. The magazine has a similar social group and representation style to other magazines like NME and Kerrang targeted at the same audience.

2. YOUNGER DEMOGRAPHIC
 The younger demographic is represented through the
featured artist ‘Lily Wilkinson’, who is a 17 year old female solo
artist. I have chose to do this as the target audience of my
magazine is 16-26 years old, I felt using a featured artist of
similar age would allow the reader to relate more to the
content of the magazine.
Through the article I have written
about the featured artist I have
presented a positive representation
of the younger demographic. A
much more relatable and realistic
representation of the age group,
this is shown through the pull quote
‘I was trying hard to control my inner
fan girl!’

3. WOMEN
The women portrayed in my magazine
aren’t shown in a stereotypical
provocative way, which is common in
most music magazines. Through not
portraying women in a provocative
way I'm challenging the stereotypical
representation. I have challenged this
through the clothes the artist is wearing
and also the way she is positioned and
photographed. A more positive image
of women is represented to the younger
demographic.

4. MISE EN SCENE
 I've created a positive representation of this
young age range, as the images have an
exciting and care free look about them. I
was able to create this through the mise en
scene. Fun and light hearted facial
expressions of the models also help to
create a positive representation of this
young age group. The clothes the artist is
wearing isn’t provocative and she is quite
covered up. The clothes also appear to be
quite masculine representing a strong,
independent woman through the artist
wearing a black leather jacket and a blue
denim shirt.

5. SOCIAL GROUPS
My magazine has a similar
social group to magazines
such as NME and Kerrang.
Both are aimed at similar
age groups and also
represent their cover artists
and other featured artists in
a similar way to my
magazine. They also have
the same target audience
and age group.
