Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My target audience is teens to young adults and so every aspect of my magazine represents them. This reflects  through my magazine because of what I had discovered when doing market research and audience research.
The images I have used all represent my target audience which is the particular age group from 12 to 20 year olds. I have included references to beauty and fashion. I feel that this represents my target audience well and also attracts them to the magazine. This represents them because makeu is something that my target audience generally use and fashion is also something that they take interest in and usually keep up to date with.

The price of my magazine reflects my target audience as it is a very reasonable price. Usually pop magazines are priced at £4.99 or £3.99 however, I have learnt from my audience research that my target audience are reluctant to buy music magazines because they are priced too high. After taking this into consideration, I priced my magazine at £2.99 so that it will be easily accessible for my target audience. Subverting this convention reflects my target audience because at this age they would most likely be students and so they aren't going to want to spend lots of money on magazines when there are articles available for free online.

On my double page spread I have included a reference to social media. 'I connect with them through twitter, instagram and snapchat.' This quote is from Jades interview when she is talking about how she connects to her fans. Social media represents my target audience well as they are very socially connected through these media platforms.
