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

2. My magazine aims to target
a more niche audience of
teenagers and young adult
who listen to a more
alternative style of music
such as rock, folk, punk etc.

3. My magazine is very
colourful and loud
which represents my
target audiences
interests. The vivid
colour scheme
represents my
audience as being
rebellious and lively.

4. The collage design
layout of my magazine
represents youth to be
wild and reckless with
no abandon, which is a
stereotypical
representation.The
magazine reflects their
messy and crazy
behaviour and also the
stereotype that they
don’t follow the rules.

5. My target audience is most likely teenagers
and young adults. Because of this roles will be
largely exaggerated to appeal and entertain
my audience. For example, the exaggeration of
the bands lives and their personalities to
interest the audience. “World domination!”
creates an impression of the magazine having
lots of action which would appeal to a younger
audience.

6. This image represents the
bands and artistswithin the
rock genre as wild and
unruly, whilst also living the
stereotypical‘rock star
lifestyle.” the facial
expression suggests they
are rebellious and angry
whichalso comes across in
the genre’s music. The
mask suggests that they are
mysterious and creates
intrigue for my audience.

7. This image represents the idea that my
audience are being disobedient and also the
stereotype that teenagers and young adults
don’t fit the frame and conformities of real life
as they are unsure of their personality.
This relates to the idea of
the mask as teenagers
and young adults
still haven’t found
their identity.

8. The black and white colour scheme
of the text and background within
my contents page is a strong and
stark contrast.This creates an
atypicalrepresentation of
teenagers and young adults as
being modern and sophisticated as
these colours are rather mature
together. The colours are classic
and simple which challenges the
stereotype of young adults and
teenagers being vivid and lively.

9. The masthead for
my magazineis red and distorted which
represents the rock genre as being loud and
chaotic. The name of my magazine‘Reckless’
creates a stereotypical representation of
teenagers and young adults being wild and
irresponsible. The font of my masthead is wild
and disorderedwhich creates a stereotypical
representationof teenagers and young adults.
