How does your media product represent particular social groups?/ Who would be the audience of your media product?
The age range for my magazine varies from 16-24 year olds. As i believe people of these ages think the same, have similar attitudes, and same opinions. This is why I have made my magazine quite fresh and vibrant, as that is what attracts the younger audience. I chose the colour scheme metallic grey with an eye catching pink, as it attracts both genders. The use of metallic grey puts across the sense of masculinity, because it is thought to be the colour of cars like Aston Martins which are conventionally aimed at the male gender. However with the pink colour on top brings the femininity towards the magazine. This is due to the stereotypical girl loving pink as a colour. Pink being associated with 'barbie' type girls. However the metallic grey and the candy floss pink are not just aimed at one gender. As some girls are 'Tomboys' and some guys are 'pretty boys' so the colour scheme can be aimed at anyone. The colour scheme and my music magazine targets a mass audience.
The genre of music in my magazine is 'chart' music because its not just solely one dimension, it has some R&B, band, hip-hop, indie and rap. However I know that the music that is in my magazine will attract to my target audience as it is chart music, and the ordering of the charts is down to the downloads of songs, and stereotypically it is the age range 16-24 that use technology a lot more than any other age. So with this in mind I can tell that the people, music and clothing used in my magazine will attract to my target audience as they have payed to listen to there music and are attached to there ideology.
