Evaluation - how does your media product represent different social groups?
2) how does your media product represent different social groups?
My media product represents a more younger social group than the average rock magazine as it is aimed at both me and women between the ages of 15 - 30 who listen to rock, punk, metal and death metal and people that model themselves on their idols from within these genres. These genres are very popular in the UK, the USA and Eastern Europe, this means that it is typically white people associated with Rock. Some bands do consist of members not being of a white origin however the majority are from a white origin so I used this in my magazine so it attracted the widest possible audience.
My media product also represents certain socials groups because of the type of magazine I have produced. As Rock music uses a lot of various instruments and sounds then it appeals to the aspiring musicians too. A lot of adolescent males stereo typically would like to play the drums or electric/bass guitar as it has a very masculine look to it. The magazines front cover has a guitarist on it, so this would appeal to the musicians as well as the straight up Rock fans.
My media product is aimed at neither males or females. I have used male artists on the front cover as this could potentially attract both sexes. Males that are into this genre of music may want to dress themselves around the men used on the product or may even want to style their hair like them. This is as well as being able to relate to the artist as a good percentage of the rock genre fans enjoy getting together with friends and rocking out. Having men on the front cover would attract women as they may find them physically attractive which may result in them listening to their music. If I was to use a woman on the front cover then more men would be interested however I chose to use men on the front cover as I thought it may give more of an even balance.
