How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Front Cover
My front cover represents an older teenage magazine from the image used, my model is of a similar age and her outfit and pose suggest it is for a pop magazine rather than a rock one. The pugs and puffs I have added onto my front cover link to a particular social group because it is targeted at young adults who enjoy going to gigs and reading about popular singers and celebrities. I think the hairstyle links to my research and planning, and I also think it is quite casual, this is to show the audience that 'Kate Buckley' is just a normal teenager. If I were to re-shoot I would try show the orangey/red dress a bit more to show more colour. I tried to link my red on the housestyle to the outfit of my model.
Contents Page
My magazine is mainly based around females apart from a few artists who are featured in my magazine. Although all of my images are of females, my magazine will appeal to males as well because of the artists featured.
Double Page Spread
My dps also suits my target audience as the image on my front cover and my dps are of the same person, however in a different outfit. I think the car/garage theme on my double page spread will appeal to people interested in cars - not the male. My dps includes a lot of questions which my target audience wanted. Also I think the pull quotes will appeal them.
Overall if I were to make this magazine again I would keep the same locations, however I would have another change of outfit. and possibly change the colour of my housestyle.
