evaluation question 2.

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

The social groups my magazine aims at is more middle class, young adults who are inspired by music, I think it aims at both white and black males and females, I wanted my magazine too have both a male and female audience, however when looking at my magazine it could look quite feminine because of the colours and the image of the girl, however it does say special edition which could make the males realise the next issue could be more about males. The image on the right was taken off the internet however I think it represents my magazine, I wanted it to have style, I think my magazine audience have style, for example an 18 year old female, who takes pride in what they wear, be creative with their looks,  however they got their style based on a musician, with my magazine I think it could be based on styling other people, with other people's images, not as such with models they copy their weight because it looks good or to fit in with the crowd, more so to stand out from the crowd, too teach people not to care what people think, and to follow your dreams, so the social group I would aim for is definitely the inspired audience in the music industry, who are trying to make it, that's why I didn't want my audience to be to young.
  The age group i aimed for was 16-20's most likely to be students/musicians in college or university. I didn't want to make it too big or too small audience because it would of been harder to aim for, for example if I did a larger group it would be hard to get the right genre and to use the right language and if I used a smaller audience I wouldn't of got a very big audience. When looking at the magazine you can see that it is about music, therefore it would interest an audience with a musical background however it does also have fashion involved which could make a wider audience. The audience who would buy the magazine would probably be at college or university as I think it's too mature for a younger audience at school and not old enough for an older audience. I think the magazine would be good to be able to be brought in a music shop for example HMV, this is different because not many magazines are sold in them and I think they would get a better audience as it's a music magazine, because the audience who would buy this magazine are more likely to go into a music shop than go into a shop like WHS.

This image represents how I was saying my social group is more so the ones that don't care, the one's who are just looking for a good time, in my magazine it can inspire people to reach their dreams.

I found this video while searching on Youtube.com about music&fashion, I liked this trailer as it shows the girls having a good time and that makes everyone else have a good time, the girls dancing remind me of the girl model on the cover of my magazine and how the photoshoot was, I think it links to my social groups well as they are about the same age, and look like they don't care.
