2) HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT

REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL

GROUPS?Chrissie Gibson

MY MEDIA PRODUCTS ARE BEING AIMED AT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS… GENDER: Females AGE: Younger generation of females

from their teens to late 20s. CLASS: A more middle class

individual who has their own style and way of life. A reason to be different and overcome a barrier of society.

FRONT COVERThe image is there to represent a new way in which females do not have to present themselves in a provocative way, allowing females to relate to the magazine and encourage them to understand and buy it. The age is for a younger class of people in their teens to late 20s. It is showing how when you work for what you want you don’t give up and can achieve what you want even when people knock you down.

The way in which the female model is being presented is showing a sense of female attitude to attract female customers. Her wrist bands that are on show makes her feel her age of 17 .

Both male and females can be attracted to this as there is a attractive female on the front cover.

The masthead goes against convention with the different and rebellious style. The word “LOVE” in REVOLUTION is spelt backwards and has been put in a red colour effect. This is supposed to symbolise a love for all people. It is to make people buy the magazine as they are immediately attracted to the word love that stands out.

The purpose of including a main cover story with a girl who is a teenager attracts the audience of young girls and females. The word “teenage” is specifically used to show this.

Including male and female artists on the front cover for the articles makes males and females interested.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREADHer outfits states that she is not rich and is not poor. This helps people to feel comfortable and understand that she is something to relate to. Her style will also encourage different fashion styles of all people to read this article.

The layout has been set out to attract individuals of all class as it is not conventional and is conventional at the same time.

The headline is very different and does not fit conventions. It stands out and draws the reader in wanting to read the article. It goes for a more rebellious headline as it goes against conventions. This article would appeal to many rock fans as it is all about rock legends children and grandchildren.

I have used a drop cap for the beginning letter of the article. This is so it creates an effect of grabbing the readers attention and making the page unique, interesting and creative.

I have included a caption to use as a filler and to give the reader more information as readers search for an explanation of the image and from an editorial point of view picture captions have to be well written, with some interesting text, because if they are boring, readers will skip them and you are missing an opportunity to catch their attention. Mine keeps the reader interested.

In the cover photo she is smiling and directly looking at the audience. Ensuring she has direct eye contact and is smiling makes her seem approachable and genuine. Her image will want people to read the article.

It includes an interview which makes it more personal.

CONTENTS PAGE

The effect of including male and female articles allows a wider range of people to be interested in the magazine. The approach of male and female characters will want people of all genders to take an interest.

The colour scheme is red, black and white and also includes some grey. This colour scheme is to attract both genders as there is not colour specified for a certain gender. This also keeps the house style looking organised and professional, interesting many readers as it looks interesting.

I have included a variety of different articles that would interest all ages and all genders.

I have laid my contents page out this way to keep it organised and informative. This is so it attracts readers and will encourage them to read it as they can clearly see what is included within this magazine.
