2. How does your media product represent different social groups?
My media product represents young females aged 12-17, I think my media product represents this in many different
ways. For example on my front cover my house style is very bold and simple and colourful which I think applies to
teenage girls why because all they want is the key gossip and they are not interest in all the writing. The colours I
used which are soft colours relate to my target audience because I believe they are very ‘girly’ colours. My feature
artist comes across as very ‘girly’, important and sexy. The way in which this comes across is the type of shot I chose
to take of her which is a mid shot I think this shows the important side to her and the pose she is giving with her
hand on her hip shows the sexy side to the artist. The choice of clothing I decided the artist to wear also relates to
the social group my media product is aimed at, teenage girls would look up to her and look at her as an icon which is
what features in pop magazines. The language I have used is aimed at my target audience, words such as ‘princess’
‘new look’ and ‘topless’ are what would interest them to read the magazine is why I have chosen to have these
words bold so they catch there eye. The language through out the media product is formal. I also believe that the
font I decided to use which was ‘Franklin Gothic Demi Cond‘ goes well with my house style, keeping it bold and
simple which is why I decided to keep this font through out my media product. I think that the soft colours through
out give a very ‘girly’ feel to the magazine and would interest my readers. I feel like I haven’t used to many colours
on the pages and I have kept the same colour range the same for each individual page which I like the look of.
I put the model in a red Hand on hip- I chose to
dress because it is a have the model with her
strong colour that I think hand on her hip because I
would catch the young thought it showed her
audiences eye very well. confidence and gave her
attitude and that is how I
wanted her to come
across.
Again the model has her
hand on her hip so maybe I put the model in casual
she becomes more but sophisticated clothing
recognisable to the as I didn’t want it to come
audience and they look up across as tacky but girly.
to her because of the high
angle shot I did.
