INITIAL VIDEO OF MY QUESTION 2 RESPONSE

HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA

PRODUCT REPRESENT

PARTICULAR SOCIAL

GROUPS?

*COVER*

A rugged, distressed font used for the

masthead was thought out thoroughly to

represent the rockers social group because

it makes the overall theme of the music

magazine seem rock based and highlights

the musical vibe.

The choice to include an all-male band on

my cover (each holding an instrument

relevant to them) further increases the

relevance to the musicians in any music

magazine audience. The instruments

apparent were chosen by the band which

represents how the overall image would be

perceived because the choice has been

made from people within the stereotypical

musical, young adults social groups.

*CONTENTS*The Polaroid effect on the top two images on my contents page represent those of the indie social group, reflective of the stereotypical indie and vintage genre. It is also representative of those from the younger generation because they have been constructed using new media software’s such as Photoshop; one of the most popular editing software’s around today.

The image of the amp in the bottom right hand corner is representative of DJ’s, musicians and anyone interesting in the rock music vibe. The colours in this image also link in with the overall house style of the music magazine which appeals to rockers and young adults (the black and red are stereotypically related to the rock music genre)

*DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD*

I chose to use a male artist for my Double Page spread article because it is stereotypical for the indie/ rock genre. By adding the instruments on two of the images it highlights the indie side of the genre because it is so typically gig-like, this is also backed up with the professional stage lights which help create a relaxing indie feel.

The teenaged singer-songwriter used in this article represents the teens, students and young adults of the audience because this type of artist is easily relatable to those of that social group.
