2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I think that it may represent women between the ages of 18 to 30 who are essentially interested in music, through the bold pink writing. However it is not limited to just women, men can read it too as it has all different types of music e.g.Rolling Stones. The pink is only a representation of the band being women but I find that the magazine is all about the content rather than the colour. I guess that this could also appeal to women as it shows a strong female band through their stances, their responses and status as the front cover feature. It could also represent teenagers because of the different colours on the cover and the young people in the pictures. Also the lists of the bands at the bottom of the page could follow certain social group of teenagers because of the number of modern bands. However it does not at all conclude that it is just for teenagers, for one reason it has a number of older bands too e.g. ‘The Rolling Stones’ and ‘U2’, this could suggest that a more mature audience may also read it. To support this I have added in a story and picture of an older artist/singer who is ‘returning to the music’, it may interest older audiences as he may have been around in their teenage years. The band 'Eliza Crosses' could represent the strong side of women because of their powerful stances and postioning in the pictures. However, the fact that they're smiling softens the theme and is inviting.
