How does your media
product represent particular social groups?
Daisy Reilly has been created to
represent the social group of Indie Pop, due to her style and fashion sense. She
is a sweet girl who has a slight rebel side, however we do not learn about this
in the article. She provides a positive representation of teenagers, linking to
the audience who will read the magazine as they will connect to Daisy and be
very fond of her due to their similarities. My magazine is aimed at both boys
and girls, however I feel that the female readers will dominate the males who
will read Beauty&Beat due to the name, the colour scheme and also the
artist who appears on the cover. Within other music magazines, such as Kerrang!,
teenagers here are presented as rebels and hard-core music maniacs, connecting
to their target audience. It links well to those who like rock/screamo music and these
readers are mostly boys, so my magazine and Kerrang! are rather different in
terms of representing different social groups. This is a photo of Bring Me The Horizon, and you can tell even from their facial expressions and their style, that they are representing a different social group to Daisy Reilly. This is a group that would feature in the Kerrang! magazines as the music the produce is aimed towards those who read this genre of magazine.
