Evaluating My Music Magazine - Question 2 ~ How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I have made my magazine to represent the social group that is all chart-music and fashion loving girls all over the world. I have done this by making my target demographic at an age range of 16-35 this is because younger people normally are more interested in fashion and chart music. I have also connected to my target by audience my mentioning things like festival line-ups; I did this because teenager’s are more likely to want to attend festivals which means they are more likely to by my magazine if it includes things they want to read. I have also made connections to the fashion side of the magazine in the imagery. When looking at style models like Vogue and Elle; I saw that they used models wearing the latest trends so I decided to incorporate the same thing into my images; so I made my model’s code of dress reflect the latest fashion trends. The colour palette I used signifies the sort of audience I want my magazine to have as it uses bright colours including; white, black and red. These colours mainly attract a female which is what I’m looking to do; but it also gives my magazine a more professional look as it isn’t bombarded with too many colours. To make my audience interested in the article’s I decided not to use too much elevated language so they can understand what the text says, however, I didn’t use demotic language either as that wouldn’t be sticking to the style of my magazine. I have challenged stereotypes of females by using aggressive code of expressions in my photography as I didn’t want females to across as just bubbly airheads; like they look in TeenVogue for example. As my magazine is aimed at mainly teenage girls and young women I have stuck to the stereotype that they are interested in fashion/music/make-up/boys ect. Therefore I added make-up advertisements to the magazine (as shown on my mood boards) in order to draw in a bigger fanbase and reinforcing the stereotype of my magazine; this also promotes my magazine with synergy as its using two different companies. When comparing my images to Vogue images I decided my model needed to give a quite stern expression thereby increasing its professionalism look.
