How does your media product represent particular social groups?


The syle of my magazine and the group of people it is aimed is very clear from the start by especially on the front cover which is the most important part of the magazine as that is the initial part of it that draws in the potential customer and catches their eye.The first and the most important of these factors is the look of my magazine which includes the look and style of the models and colours and layouts used in the magazine all together.The look of my magazine is aimed at people who are interested in metal music also known as,grungers,metal heads,goths,emos.So i have represened that kind of style in my magazine with the models ive used who are metal heads themselves who have long hair,piercings,and wear clothes which consist of dark colours, t shirts with band logos,and they wear skinny jeans.

putting a image with models that look like this on the front cover immediatly draws peoples attention to the magazine who are intrested in metal music or a metalhead etc themselves.The poses that the models are in also helps to represent the social group of they are following as only somebody that listens to rock/metal music will be making a devil horns jesture with their hands.The dark colours used in my magazine which consist of the reds and the blacks are directly associated with metal so they are very relevant in my magazine and the people that are part of the metal music social group know this so immediatly recognise these colours and this is what makes the front cover eye catching and relevant to them as it is a clear representation of their style of music.

The majority of people that would be reading a metal/rock music magazine will be young people so i have used young models in my magazine to represent the age factor in music to show that young peoople can be famous so that readers can relate to the people featured in the magazine if they maybe want to become a musician themselve or are just interested to know that not everyone has to be old to be able to make a band and become succesful..If i had used a older model on the page people would not be as interestd as much as the person is not the same age as them so they cant really relate to the person featured which is what intrests some people when reading a artcile about a musician.
