The document discusses how the media product represents different social groups. The front cover suggests the magazine can appeal to both genders but will mainly appeal to females due to the female image. The contents page represents youth and middle/upper class through reviews of concerts and interviews with new and old artists, which youth are interested in and concerts have associated costs. The double page spread represents youth through a Q&A getting to know the cover artist. The front cover uses a mixed female artist rather than the typical white male/female or band to appeal to a wider audience for the indie genre.

Question 2 of my evaluation
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in the magazine's front cover, contents page, and double page spread. The front cover portrays teenagers and English people in a positive light. It shows the cover star as inspiring and England as producing popular global music. Indie artists are depicted as down to earth and appreciative. The contents page uses photos of male bands and artists to appeal to its target teenage male audience. England is also portrayed positively through articles about English bands. The double page spread similarly features a young male teenage subject to appeal to teenage boys and portray youth in a non-negative way, while the magazine overall is male-dominated and portrays English bands positively.
Question 4 media
My media product is a music magazine called A.M.P. that focuses on women in the indie music industry. The target audience is men and women aged 16 to 24 who enjoy discovering new indie music, going to concerts and festivals, and have an intellectual interest in alternative genres. The secondary audience includes men and women aged 26 to 34 who still listen to indie music and attend live shows.
AS Media - Evaluation Question 2
My magazine primarily targets males aged 15-22 who enjoy indie music. It represents this group through its use of mostly male artists, darker colors, and inclusion of popular indie bands identified in a questionnaire of the target age range. However, it can also appeal to females and older readers through some female artists and mentions of older bands. The magazine additionally targets fans of mod music through its title "Underground," font choices evoking the London Underground, and vocabulary with links to the mod band The Jam.
My pitch
This document discusses the details of a proposed indie rock music magazine, including:
- The genre is indie rock music and the target audience is 16-25 year olds.
- The magazine will provide insights into new and established artists that are popular with the target audience.
- The magazine is priced at £2.35 to attract buyers on a budget, such as students. The colour scheme of red, black, white, and yellow was chosen to catch readers' eyes.
My music magazine pitch, dan clewlow
The magazine will focus on unsigned pop and rock bands, as this genre is most enjoyed by the author and there is a gap in existing magazines. The target audience is younger people like students who enjoy similar music. Articles will feature new and upcoming artists to promote them, along with popular band news. The magazine aims to represent passion, hope, and excitement in music through a style similar to Q and NME magazines.

It will have a central cover image with bold fonts and colors similar to Q and NME. Feature articles will include interviews to promote unsigned artists and bands.
Question 2
This magazine targets teenagers aged 15-25, predominantly young males who enjoy alternative and rock music. The band featured in photos are 3 teenage boys, chosen to appeal to the target demographic by looking like people they can relate to and admire. The color scheme of red, blue, black and orange was selected because these colors are prominent in other music magazines and connote themes in alternative music like violence and pain. The band members are styled in grungy black jeans and white/grey tops, a simplistic look that is conventional for the genre and suggests a disinterest in social norms. While the magazine portrays some stereotypes about rock artists and fans facing hardship and rebelling, it also shows how they use music to

Final Evaluation Question 2
My media product represents the social group of "Trendies", who are known for being fashionable and keeping up with music trends. I researched this group on the website "UK Tribes" and chose a pop artist, Tianna Angel Mangham, who dresses in the typical skinny jeans and colorful style of Trendies aged 16-25.

My proposal
Jessica proposes a music magazine titled "Diversity" focusing on pop/chart music genres aimed at ages 16-23.

Initial ideas include using black, red, and white or blue, pink, white and black color schemes for the cover.

A double-page spread will pair an original photo with an interview or information about the artist featured on the cover.
Social groups

The magazine portrays their lifestyle through articles about music festivals and free downloads. It aims for a middle-class audience but is affordable for lower-class students. Images and content appeal to both male and female readers. The ethnicity of most readers is expected to be white Caucasian initially due to the UK publication. The magazine encodes motivational messages for its audience through a young featured artist.

Evaluation1
Yunus Kasim created a music magazine called "Swizstar" as part of an OCR Media Studies coursework assignment. The magazine targets young men aged 17-21 who enjoy R&B music. Kasim used repetition of elements from his inspiration magazine "Vibe" as well as differences to make his magazine unique. He photographed a model dressed as Eminem to imitate the artist's facial expressions and body language for the magazine covers and spreads. Kasim researched potential publishers and believes SpinMedia would be a good fit due to their experience with similar music magazines. He analyzes how his magazine represents and appeals to its target audience of young men through its visual design, article topics, and language.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?
- 1. How does your media product represent particular social groups? My three pieces of media create a representation of gender, class and youth. For example, my front cover suggests the magazine can be for both genders because its main content is artist’s information, reviews of concerts and gigs and information about up and coming gigs and concerts. However, because of the girl as the main image it will mainly appeal to the female audience. My contents page I think represents youth and class because it is reviews of gigs, one to one chats with various artists and band both old and new which is what mainly the youth want to see. Also, because indie music is mainly played at festivals and gigs which cost a lot so it’s more middle upper class that would attend these. In addition, my double page spread represents youth because of the fact its a question and answer session which gets to know more about the life of the front cover artist. My representation of a music magazine follows all of the required codes and conventions of what an indie music magazine typically includes. However, on the front cover of an indie music magazine the cover artist is usually a band or a male or female of the white ethnicity, but on mine I decided to use a female who is mixed. I did this so I could reach out to a wider audience to have an interest in the indie genre.
