EVALUATION - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My production is generally aimed at a younger audience however with mature imagery it could reach to an older audience also. The images I have used are of teenagers this is because it shows youth to the audience, however, the dress code and stance of the model on the front cover and double page spread represent a different representation of youth. The facial expressions of the model on the front cover show’s a girl smiling which is a contrast to some of the people in my research due to their usual stern or scowling expressions; the idea of her smiling represents a more friendly teenager in contrast to how they are usually represented.

I have used only female models in my magazine; this may seem that this appeals to only female viewers. However it could be argued that the readers may be male and enjoy looking at female images but also that they enjoy the music made. The female representation is usually based on few basic stereotypes. These being; that they are image conscious this being a contrast of teenage boys, the idea of females representing my magazine show’s a sense of sophistication In my magazine. 

The language on my interview shows a mix of slang and mature language, it also represent s conversation. This could be relate-able to the audience reading due to them being just like any normal people, this representing youth as intelligent from the use of mature language and conversation also. The title of the double page spread also shows that the artist used to have a ‘wild’ past like many teenagers do in this generation. This could also represent the idea of change, and how the youths reading may aspire to be like the star they are reading about.
