The document discusses how people are represented in a magazine targeted towards 11-20 year old males. On the front cover, the artist is shown wearing a leather jacket, associated with rock stars and bikers, representing the target audience as aggressive and careless. Masculine colors are also used to appeal to males of that age group. On the contents page, the artists are shown looking relaxed or with straight faces, representing the attitude of the target audience. Rough fonts are used for headings to seem aggressive and masculine. On a double page spread, bold but destroyed fonts, dark colors, and easy to understand language in a dark setting represent the target audience as rule breakers stereotypically associated with rock magazines.

1. Question 2
Representations

2. Front cover- How are the people in your magazine
represented in the magazine?
• I think the people in my magazine are represented as being aggressive
and careless. This is suitable for the target audience which are 11-20
years old and mainly males because that is the stereotype. One way I
have represented this is through the mise-en-scène used in the
images. On my front cover the artist is wearing a leather jacket which
are associated with rock stars and bikers.
• As well as the use of mise-en-scene being used to represent gender
and age I have also used masculine colours which are more appealing
to males and people of that age.
• This page is stereotypical for these social groups because the image
and the mise-en-scene I have used is typical for the age group and
social class I am aiming my magazine at.

3. Contents page- How are the people in your magazine
represented in the magazine?
• On my contents page I think I have represented people as being
careless and relaxed because for my main images the artist is just
looking of into the distance without a care in the world. The wide
shot also represents isolation of the artist.
• For my other images the artist/editor both have straight faces or
look really relaxed. I think this represents my social groups quite
well because my audience will probably have the same attitude as
the artists.
• I have represented people through the fonts as well as images
because the font I have used for the headings are fairly rough and
have a destroyed effect to it. This makes it seem quite aggressive
and masculine.

4. Double page spread-How are the people in your magazine
represented in the magazine?
I have represented my social group in this page by the use
of font, colour, image and language.
• The font I have used is bold by still has a destroyed
effect to it which is convectional for rock magazines
and it also represents my target audience because
they are stereotyped to be destructive and rule
breakers.
• The colours I have used are dark and gloomy and the
setting of the image is also quite sinister and dark
which is all stereotypical for my social groups.
• The language is also easy to understand for the age of
the readers and it could also be language they use or
can relate to.
