The document discusses the representation of social groups in a media product's cover design. Specifically, it describes the choices made in designing a magazine cover for sophisticated young teens. A black dress was chosen for the cover image to represent maturity. The font, informal language, and focus on one clear image were intended to attract teens while keeping the design tidy and easy to understand. The color scheme of black and red was meant to depict style for high-class teens in an eye-catching way.

1. Question 2
How does your media product represent particular
social groups?

2. The image I used for my front cover shows
the girl as a very confident looking strong
person. This insists that my magazine is
aiming towards more sophisticated young
teens rather than children. The girl is
wearing a black dress, black is a more
practical colour attracting more mature
teens.
This picture was the one that I originally
planned on using for my cover. I think this
image looks more like it should be used on
a teen magazine and might have suited my
style better but I think the fact that she
was wearing tiger print might insist I am
trying to attract a whole different social
group. More immature teens maybe, it
might also seem like my magazine is less
‘pop’ and therefor wouldn’t attract my
intended audience.

3. I picked a font with I think looks
more unique but still easy to read. I
used informal language as I am
aiming at teens, this way my
magazine will cover a wider
audience as teens understand
informal language a lot more.

intended audience and they agree
