Evaluation- Question 2

How does your music magazine represent particular social groups?

We aimed to exhibit certain features in our magazine to make it representative of our target audience. We did this through different aspects such as the images we used, the chosen fonts and colour schemes. We selected our models to portray a sense of what our target audience are like. The models were styled to wear 90’s grunge clothing which we found was the typical clothes that are associated with our target audience. The clothing was particularly casual because the audience would be able to relate to their outfits and therefore find our magazine more intriguing and relatable. The way that the models posed is also an indication as to what genre of music magazine this is. The mood of the front cover especially is quite serious which contrasts to the double page spread which shows the band members more relaxed and having fun, we made them pose in this way so it could show variety to the indie rock genre and break stereotypical boundaries which makes the audience more interested and captivated by the magazine. Many of our shoots were taken as close up or mid shots because we took inspiration from other magazines and indie photo shoots, this is an example made on prezi of how we linked other images and styles to our front cover and photo shoots.

I think that our magazine represents our selected social group through the use of photos and variety of colours and the font which is used throughout keeping it trendy and stylish.
