1. Q2. How does you media product
represent particular social groups?

2. My music magazine is aimed at both men and women
who have a love for the indie genre of music.
I based the models clothing in the main image on
one of the audience research questions, which was
‘Three words that you would associate with Indie
music’. The words that came back where rock,
atmosphere, crowd, tight jeans, skinny jeans,
checkered shirts and stretchers. So I had my model
wear skinny jeans and a checkered shirt to
represent indie.
Again I used my audience research to pick the
colour scheme. The colours that where most
favoured to be seen on the front of an indie
music magazine were black, red and white. I
added the yellow colour to make the magazine
stand out from other professional music
magazines.
I made the title of my magazine ‘INDIE’ so that it
will be obvious to the target audience that it is a
indie music magazine. It says the genre of music
it represents within itself.

3. The content that is on the contents page is all
based on indie bands or artists so the reader
can relate to the articles and will be interested
in them as they are a fan of indie music.
I have also stuck to the colour scheme
that I chosen based on the audience
research keeping the readers
interested all the way through as it
shows that I have listened to what they
want to see from the magazine.

4. The article that makes the The images that I have taken and I have used simple
double page spread is an used on the DPS show that the informal language that is
interview with an indie band are fun and have a special easy to understand so that
band who are breaking bond together. This will create a the reader wont lose
into the music business feeling for the reader to respect interest and will carry on
meaning that any indie the band. The band hand pose reading the interview.
