Evaluation Question # 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups

My music magazine represents my target audience of teenage boys due to the content and style of my magazine. My magazine shows what teenage boys like, for example graffiti used in my front covers background and a touch of funky colors which are mostly used throughout my magazine. The pictures I have used in my magazine are of teenage boys therefore my target audience can relate to them.

My contents page represents my youthful Hip-Hop listeners due to the models used in the contents page. All the models are teenagers from the age range of 17-19. The main cover model is wearing glasses, clothing and some accessories. These are all clothing that my social group would wear. The models also have a lack of makeup. This represents the social group as people who are not really interested in makeup and wear very little of it.

 My magazine is targeted at a large and wide audience as I have chosen teenage boys as a whole group who will be attracted to my magazine if they have an interest in fashion and hip-hop. In my opinion a large percentage have an interest in fashion and the hip-hop genre, because of this I believe that my magazine will attract a large audience to read it due to the representation of teenage boys.

My double page spread is fairly stereotypical of a music magazine. It has an image and some quotes , an introductory paragraph to the article. My double page spread represents a particular social group as people who need to recover or need a time alone. This is shown through the article as the person explains his life.
