social group research (double page spread)

in my double page spread also follows this pattern of rock chick violent and rebellious style as can be seen with the attitude of my female model as she looks like she she looks as if she killing someone as the red insinuates blood and blood splatter. this is appealing to mu target audience in clever way as they can seen it in different ways such as violent , passion and even just a playful metaphor for emotions.

social group research (cover)






how does your media product represent a particular social group?


 when creating my magazine i focused on many different things in order to attract and appeal to my target audience.

for my front cover i decided to have a female model (Sophie webster) as to appeal to only to males but females too as males could find her attractive and females could admire her as a strong female with a good sense of style that they could relate too. this will appeal to my target audience as they are teens any young adult possible still finding out about what type of person they are or want to be through music and style influences which are portrayed in magazines.
