The magazine represents indie-styled teenagers through photographs of a model in indie clothing styles. It aims to challenge stereotypes by depicting teenagers as relaxed rather than rebellious. The magazine uses informal language and large pictures to create a friendly tone for its target teenage audience and balance the ratio of text to images on the page.

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

2. The social group I have represented in my magazine are indie
styled teenagers and young people.I have represented this through
my images. For example I took photographs of Caitlin in indie
style clothing to show the styled clothes indie rock/pop artists and
teenagers wear.

3. I feel I have represented unstereotypical
teenagers and challenged the way
teenagers are perceived in the public eye.
In my photographs I represented teenagers
to be relaxed and calming whereas existing
music magazines represent teenagers as
rebellious and loud. Existing music
magazine use dominant ideology to
represent teenagers and young people
whereas my magazine shows an emergent
ideology and challenges the Medias views.

4. I used informal language in my magazine
to have a friendly and chatty vibe towards
the magazine. I made this decision because
I wanted my target audience to my
interested in the chatty styled text. By
choosing to use informal language
suggested to my audience this magazine
was made for them. I used large pictures to
balance out the ratio of pictures and text. I
made this decision because I didn’t want
my audience to be put off by the amount of
text given. By having large pictures
balances out the text on the page.
