Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?


My media product is for teenagers is it represented through my magazine by the bright colours I have featured throughout, the artists I have chosen to be in my magazine and the language used. My magazine is aimed more at girls and I have channelled this by using pink and purple a lot and having my main cover star as a teenage girl with whom they can relate to. I was quite stereotypical by using colours associated with a typical teen girl however I did add some blues into the mix.
The cover lines I decided to go with are stories that would grab my target audiences eye, things such as 'competition to see Olly Murs' teenage girls would then be excited and want to read further and go on to enter the competition as Olly Murs is a pop artist who my target audience likes, I have left out things that would turn off my target audience such as sports and video games as this stereotypically would be for boys and that isn't who my magazine is aimed at. 
The colours used are; pink, purple, blue, yellow and white, these are very eye catching and 'girly' all pop magazines use this technique of bright colours because of these reasons. 
My cover girl is wearing a frilly lace top, sparkly earrings, has her hair curled and is wearing natural make up, resulting in the parents liking her as she isn't reckless and rude like some pop stars and the teenage girls aspiring to be like her. The pose she is pulling is silly and cute and is similar to typical poses on teen pop magazines.
My magazine is aimed at middle class to upper class as my magazine which is priced at £2.50 is quite a lot for my target audience of 13-17 years olds as they most likely don’t have a job yet however it isn’t that expensive in the long run as it is only monthly and other magazines in the same genre as mine are higher than my price such as We Love Pop and Top of the Pops.
