Question 2 =]

How does your music magazine represent particular social groups?
My music magazine does represent a particular social group. I hoped that my target audience would be 16-18 year olds so I used this as a starter to create my magazine. I do want my magazine to appeal to many different social groups but giving that it would have to represent one, I believe it represents 16-18 year old, working class teens. It isn’t an expensive magazine, so pretty much anyone could afford it. As well as this the pictures and wording seem very real and down to earth.
The front cover image is of a girl who seems to be at a party or in a club environment. This would appeal to the targeted social group as it is very familiar to them.
I looked at some music magazine websites for inspiration of what to do to make sure my target audience was approached well. Below are links to these websites.

None of these websites are the same but they all use techniques in order to appeal to a certain audience and social group. These sites helped me to create my image.
