How does your media product represent paricular social groups?
My magazine is a dance genre magazine; it represents these by having bright colours which are contrasted with other colours to make things stand out a lot. My main photo also represents the dance genre because it has a photo of Daniel looking ‘cool’ and with his computer and decks which is modern technology which emphasises that it’s up to date and is looking to attract the younger generation. This vibrant colour pattern is carried on throughout the magazine to carry on the trend. Djers are normally seen to be male, and I followed this convention by making the main DJ on my magazine a male. My media product represents young teens mainly, this is down to it having vibrant and bright colours along with it being a dance magazine because the dance genre mainly appeals to teenagers. It would appeal to the male population most of the time but it has things in it that tries to give it a wide audience by giving it a wide variation of dance acts and bright colours. It also represents daily life of people, the boy has a dream that he wants to achieve and his friends say he’ll never be able to do it then he actually does become famous which happens all over the world nowadays. Just to get the point across that dreams can come true, if you stick your head to it. My magazine is priced at £3.50, which isn’t particularly expensive, therefore the working class will be able to afford it with not much of a bother which means that a lot of people will be able to buy my magazine and it will gather more purchases, making it more successful
