How does your Media product represent particular social groups?
The main genre for “Fierce” magazine is rock and roll. The main target audience for “Fierce”
magazine would be aimed at teenagers, as there is a teenage rock star on my
front cover whom people might aspire to be like or even fancy. Her hair is
covering her eyes and she is glaring at the camera giving off a moody persona.
The way she is posed shows what type of people may be interested in reading
“Fierce” magazine. As well as this, the title acts as a describing word not
only for the model that I have used, but also for the target audience: Young,
Fierce and independent individuals.
For the front cover, the rock star is standing in front of a grungy
brick wall, which gives off the view that this is the sort of place where
rebellious teenagers may hang out, and they can relate to Vicky (the model) due
to where she is standing. So they may read this because it catches their eye
and is similar to them. The way that I represent my Target audience by my
magazine is that they are moody teenagers
(The star on the front cover) who are independent
(Vicky is standing in a confident position and is photographed on her
own). It could be debated that I’m representing teenagers in a negative way,
but the truth is not all teenagers are happy with themselves, and this magazine
is about opening up to who they are and being proud to be an individual and not
a follower.
My magazine front cover is not in the same style of a stereotypical
rock magazine. I use a girl on the front cover as for a rock magazine; they
normally have men on the front cover. This may be different to a normal rock
magazine, but this simple change also supports the message of my magazine,
which is about being an individual and not following a crowd.
