Question 4 Evaluation
The reader of my magazine will likely be studying at college or even have left school and actually have a full time job. They would be in the age range of about 16-24.
The audience of my magazine will be interested in latest high-street fashion, wear all of the biggest brands. They will also wear the biggest urban street wear fashion. They will have big brand sportswear, all the clothes that they wear will be branded whether it being sportswear or just high-street fashion. They live trendy lifestyles with the clothes that they wear and the kind of things that they have. They will have the latest technology, with their own TV's and laptops, and the best mobile phones.
The reader enjoys listening to hip hop and pop music, such as Tinie Tempah, Bruno Mars, Kanye West, Rihanna. They will listen to music on popular radio station such as Capital FM, they will also download music from the internet or iTunes onto their phones or iPods instead of going out to the shops to buy CD's. They do this as they prefer to have the songs on their phone instead of in physical form.
They spend their time watching TV, going out with their mates to the cinema and out for meals at restaurants in the city. They will also like going to shops such as All saints and Topman, these kind of shops will be in the city which is wear they will go most weekends. They will also like going to festivals, gigs, and big sports events such as a big football/basketball game. They enjoy reading magazines, and they spend time on their phone and laptops on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. They will also follow their favourite artists/bands on Twitter and Facebook so that they can find out the latest news about what they are doing.
They will take part in outer school activities such as football and basketball teams, they will also go to the gym after college about three or four times a week. They are likely to have a part time job as well, they will work there a couple of nights a week after school and on some weekends. The money that they will make from this job will be how they buy my magazine. They will also spend their money on the biggest high street fashions such as Nike, Adidas, Ralph Lauren, and Fred Perry.
Question 2 Evaluation
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine represents particular social groups by the clothes that are worn on the front cover, the jacket that is worn by the artist represents the clothing style of a typical reader of the magazine, the make of the jacket is Superdry which would be a brand that the reader would be likely to wear. The reader can then relate to the artist which draws them into the magazine, and makes them want to read it. After looking on UK tribes I could see that this is the kind of clothing that the audience of my magazine would wear. The reader can then relate to the magazine which would catch their attention. From the article in the magazine the reader can relate to the artists answers as the audience of the magazine would have similar responses to the artist, this is because they have similar interests. The particular social group will be like the artist as they will both be interested in the same things.
As you can see from the two images above there is a picture of my artist on the left and Chris Brown on the right. These two are of similar genres and characteristics making them the same kind of artists. These two are the kind of people that would feature in my magazine as they are both of a similar genre that would match my magazine, meaning that people would enjoy reading about them. They are both also quite stylish characters which is a big part of my magazine, so again it would make them perfect models for my magazine. These two artists are very similar as they would both appear in hip hop and pop songs.
