 Q2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Question 2:

My music magazine is targeted at an audience of both genders; male and female but mainly females, who are interested in the genres of music of R&B, Pop & Hip-hop. The genre and the type of audience my magazine is targeted at is presented through the layout and design of the pages of the magazine. The front page illustrates the genre and target audience as it has a list of artists that are singers/ rappers of music that are R&B, Hip-hop or Pop based and the colour scheme of the magazine also helps to illustrate the type of audience the magazine is mainly targeted at; females. Another way this has been done is through the model on the front cover and her costume which consists of a fur jacket and accessories; earrings, watch and rings. The colour of her hair, makeup and clothing also complements the colour scheme of the magazine  The look she has puts forward the idea of femininity and class and not only just what she is wearing but, her pose which is sassy. The look the model has is the look of the majority of females in the R&B/Hip-hop/ Pop music scene, fashionable but sexy. Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Monica etc are all examples of females in the music industry that have this type of look and style.
