Question 2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

MYL is a music magazine aimed at both males and females within the age group 16 - 30 years old. 

I aimed to portray an Indie/R&B style on the front cover as this would appeal to my target audience. 

The image I've used on the front cover uses direct mode of address and gives off a certain attitude that would appeal to the readers. The guitar the artist is holding represents the Indie genre, and makes it clear to the readers that this is the kind of thing this magazine is all about. 

Cover lines used represent this social group as there is a wide variety of Indie/R&B bands included, for example 'On tour with Taylor Swift'. 

The colour scheme I've used reflects the answers I recieved from the questionnaire I made at the beginning of this project. Reds, purples and blacks were the most popular colours chosen by the age range I am targeting. 

By using a young, hot female artist on the cover, my magazine will easily appeal to people in the age group 16-30, as she is of a similar age, therefore easy to relate to. 

Both males and females aged 16-30 are the type of people most likely to attend British summer festivals. By mentioning festivals on the front cover, it is likely to attract this type of social group.
