1. How does you media
product represent
particular social groups

2. Age
 I have aimed my media product at people aged
between 18-21
 This may be a small margin but I feel due to the price of
the magazine and contents of it that these types of
people will enjoy it.
 Also the genre of my magazine is Modern Rock, which
appeals mainly to quite old teenagers/ young adilts

3.  Further more the design and style of my magazine is
very modern and up to date and will again appeal to
young adults

4. Gender
 My magazine is aimed at a male audience because I
feel that there are no features that a female can relate
too.
 All the photos I used are of men, I did this to create a
quite a male dominated magazine
 From examples I can see that other rock magazine
have few females

5. Genre
 The genre of my magazine is modern rock. I have
made this clear by the festivals I have included on my
cover and contents page.
 The title of my magazine also indicates the the
magazine is a modern rock type.
 The main singer in my magazine is part of a rock band
and so this will give the readers and indication about
the genre of the magazine

6. Fashion
 In my all of my pages my model is wearing smart
clothing.
 I made him wear this because I wanted to add a little of
class to the magazine.
 Making my model wear smart clothes also made the
magazine look more appealing

7. Race
 My media product will appeal to both people of white or
black race.
 However the the photo I have taken are all of white
people and so this may appeal more to white people
than to black
 I have aimed my product at both because I feel it fits
both races
