It aims to portray this group in a positive light, highlighting their inspirational achievements and the amazing things they do. The magazine contains stories about young people's musical successes and upcoming music events, contrasting negative media representations of teenagers. However, the author acknowledges that the gossip section may represent young people in a more negative way as less active and social.

1. Evaluation Part 2
How does your media product
represent your specific target
group?

2. With so much negative media surrounding
teenagers and young adults lately, my media
product contrasts this and represents young
people in a positive light.

3. My media product thrives to represent young
Indie social groups of people positively,
highlighting the inspirational things they do
and the amazing things they achieve.

4. Representations
In the media, teenagers and young people are
regular victims of negative representations. I
designed my magazine in order to show
these people in a different light. With stories
surrounding the musical achievements of
young people and upcoming music events, it
shows the contrasting side to young people of
our generation.

5. Front cover
According to the uses and
gratifications theory, people
actively use the media for
their own personal
pleasures. As in my sell
line shown here, this gives
my readers an active
reason to buy the
magazine. Representing
young people as active.

6. Contents
Again, in the contents I have
included information on a
particular festival. This is also
representing young people as
active and outgoing.

7. Double page spread
However, in my double page
spread I believe I have
represented young people in a
more negative light. As this is a
gossip section it represents
people as less active and less
social able.
