2. I managed to represent females in my magazine by using females
for some of my photo shoots. Before taking the photos I planned
out the mise-en-scene for each photo shoot, this enabled me to
consider the make up and clothes the model would be wearing.
For this photo shoot, the girl isn’t wearing loads of make up as I
wanted to get a natural look across as I think this would appeal to
most teenage girls. I then decided to add in the cake and apron as
it links in with the anchorage of what the article would be about.
The apron is also pink which is a colour associated with females.
Females from my audience would relate to these models, because
they are the same gender and similar ages.
3. I have represented males by using the same technique when
representing females. So I made sure to include a male model in
my magazine.
During this photo shoot I planned what clothes he would wear. I
decided to go with a leather jacket as this clothing is what quite a
lot of males wear today. The hairstyle also represents males as
quite a lot of my target audience has this similar hairstyle.
Males from my audience would relate to these models, because
they are the same gender and similar ages.
Overall I have represented both genders within
my magazine by considering the photos I wanted
to take.
4. I have represented teenagers through my
magazine by using models that are a similar age
to my target audience. I made sure that most of
them looked very positive by the emotions the
models are showing, such as smiling. And most
teenagers within my target audience have
happy, exciting vibes.
I have also represented teenagers by the
model’s hairstyles. The models all have
different hair styles to add variety to the
magazine, however most hair styles shown
include what my target audience will have
themselves.
Teenagers are more likely to buy a magazine if
the articles are about similar aged people to
them because it means they are more likely to
relate.
