media evaluation question

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

2.  My media product is aimed at both men and women between the ages of thirteen and eighteen.
However I feel that men will take more interest in the rock genre compared to women. Even though
this may be the case I have tried to make the magazine appealing to both men and women, using a
confident male on the front cover. The colours I have chosen to run throughout my magazine are
neutral colours (black, grey, yellow and white).
Gender

3.  The age my magazine is aimed at is teenagers, the models throughout represent the age group
that is targeted. Older teens could related to the characters in the stories, where as younger
teenagers could see them as role models and look up to them.
Age

4. The language used throughout the magazine is to a mature nature, although it can come across casual.
Therefore it is more attractive to the younger teens who are interested to the rock genre and want to
stat reading more about it, Although there is no specific age that a rock magazine is normally aimed at,
making it easy to read for ages will increase the interest of people and sales.
Language

5. Stereotypical
 I believe that my rock magazine does contain some stereotypical contents, for example a male
covered in tattoos and models dressed all in black. This is all based on how the media represents
the rock genre. However this is also how people see the genre. Therefore as soon as an eye is
caught to my magazine, it is instantly thought to be a rock magazine, The model on my front cover
was not initially meant to be a stereotype, although I think this will attract a big group of readers.
