The document discusses how the magazine represents social groups. It aims its content at a younger, exploratory audience. While the topics of fashion and gossip suggest a female target audience, the images may appeal to males as well. Some images portray female artists in a positive light, showing strength and success, while another image challenges stereotypes by depicting the less glamorous side of celebrity.

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

2. My Magazine
O Aimed at a younger demographic model,
an audience of young adults that would fit
into the ‘explorers’ category

3. Social Groups
O Upon observation, the information
featured on my magazine is suitable for a
female audience, with stereotypically
female topics such as fashion and gossip.
The obscene images might catch a male
gaze but the content doesn’t immediately
appeal to an audience that is
stereotypically masculine, but doesn’t
portray females in a positive way within
the media. However, the colour scheme is
not typically feminine or masculine, which
is a positive feature of my magazine,
raising the chances of a male audience
purchasing it.

4. Social Groups
O The images displayed offer a
positive connotation of female
strength and individuality. The
pose the artist is in
demonstrates her success and
her confidence, and the pull
quote is situated next to the
image to display how successful
she is. Buzz words include the
word romance in this genre of
music magazine as readers of
this audience will be compelled
to read about an artist’s social
and romantic life

5. Social Groups
O A challenging aspect is perhaps
the other image on the double
page spread. It depicts a whole
other personality of the artist and
suggests that life isn’t as
glamorous as initially
represented. This offers new
ideas about the stereotypical
female artist and the celebrity
persona, suggesting that they
aren’t as elegant as they seem.
