Evaluation question 2.ppt

How did you represent social groups?

EVALUATION QUESTION 2

MY MAGAZINE MAIN AUDIENCE HAS BEEN TARGETED TOWARDS THE ‘ALTERNATIVE’ GENRE.

THIS INCLUDES DIFFERENT STEREOTYPICAL GROUPS SUCH AS..

HIPSTER

HIPPY

MY TARGET SOCIAL GROUPS ENJOY THE LIKES OF; GIGS AND FESTIVALS. THE MOST POPULAR FROM THIS SOCIAL

GROUP IS LEEDS/READING AND DOWNLOAD.

THEY LISTEN TO BANDS SUCH AS;

IMAGINE DRAGONS

THE 1975

OASIS

I HAVE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHILST MAKING MY PRODUCTS

WHAT MY MODELS ARE TO LOOK LIKE

I REPRESENTED THIS IN MY PRODUCTS PARTICULARLY THROUGH MISE-EN-SCENE; MAKE-UP, CLOTHING AND BODY

LANGUAGE.

MY MODEL RED LIPS REFLECT THE STYLISH ‘ALTERNATIVE’ LOOK AND REFLECTS HER BUBBLY PERSONALITY

THE BANDS THAT ARE INCLUDES IN MY SELL LINES ARE EXISTING BANDS WHICH MY TARGET AUDIENCE ARE

INTERESTED IN.

THE COLOURS USED FOLLOW A THREE COLOUR PALLET AND ARE CONTRASTING ALLOWING THE MAGAZINE TO

LOOK PROFESSIONAL.

THIS IS ALSO THE CASE WITH MY CONTENTS PAGE, THE COLOUR RED STANDS OUT CONTRASTING AGAINST THE

ALTERNATIVE IMAGES.

I WANTED MY MAIN CONTENTS IMAGE TO RESEMBLE AN ALL-GIRL BAND SUCH AS ‘THE RUNAWAYS’

A female fronted, successful band.

THEY CHALLENGE THE OUTDATED TRADITIONAL IDEA OF ONLY A MALE CAN MAKING IT INTO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

AS A FRONT MAN.

SIMILARLY, I WANTED MY FRONT COVER MODEL TO BE LIKE FLORENCE( AND THE MACHINE) VERY CONFIDENT AND

UNIQUE

SIMILARLY, I WANTED MY FRONT COVER MODEL TO BE LIKE FLORENCE( AND THE MACHINE) VERY CONFIDENT AND

UNIQUE

SHOW FRONT COVER AND CONTENTS PAGE

IN TERMS OF MY DPS, THE MODELS AWKWARDNESS YET QUIRKY ATTITUDE GIVES OFF THE IMPRESSION OF BEING

‘COOL’

THIS IS IMPORTANT AS THE FEMALE MODEL IS FORMER GIRL BAND MEMBER, THEREFORE TEENAGERS OFTEN

IDOLISE THEIR PEERS AND CELEBRITIES.

I WANTED MY FEMALE MODEL TO RESEMBLE A WELL-KNOWN ARTIST SUCH AS  ‘CHERRIE CURRIE FROM ‘THE

RUNAWAYS’

HOWEVER, I DIDN’T TAKE INSPIRATION FROM CHERRIE CURRIE’S CLOTHING, I IN FACT STUCK TO A MORE

ALTERNATIVE ‘INDIE’ LOOK.
