appealing to social groups

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

·        My media product represents particular social groups through the use of language and presentation. These appeals to the chosen teenage target audience as the magazine appears chatty to the audience and makes it more personal to the reader.

·        My front cover appeals to social groups such as teenagers and both males and females through the colours used throughout the house style. The use of colour throughout my product makes it obvious that the target audience is aimed towards males and females as none of the colours are either masculine or feminine.

·        The involvement of festivals, different bands and discounts attract the teenagers as they are all things that teenagers enjoy and benefit out of. The images included throughout all 3 of the pages include young people which make the teenagers more able to relate to the magazine and feel as though the magazine is aimed to be more personal to them. If these bands were of an elder age, this would not have the same effect and appeal.

·        By basing my colours on dark shades, I believe this contributes to the rock theme of design and house style.

·        I aimed to include different genres of music to act as sub-genres within my magazine that would relate to different social groups.

·        When finalizing my design and planning, I aimed to target all different kinds of social groups so that the magazine would be as appealing to as many different groups as possible.

The social group that is mainly attracted is teenagers which are also my aimed target audience, this works well as my artist/band is constructed of both males and females, this will hopefully attract both genders even if they are not interested in the genre of music.
