2. The way I have represented my readers of my
magazine is through the use of my feature
photograph. I used this to represent young white
females as confident and strong by having direct eye
contact with the camera and by the attitude she
gives in the photo.The photo also gives off a sense
of intelligence which again is shown as a
characteristic of young white female. By having the
model wearing glasses it gives a sense of intelligence
without having to dress sophisticated and can still
keep the stylish edge of a teenage female. Dressing
the model in a white stylish top also portrays my
targeted audience as pure and innocent but having
the darker lipstick colour gives off a sense of
mystery.This gives off that young women are
represented in the media pure and innocent but can
also have a different side that can be seen through
the way they choose to present themselves or
through other ways such as hobbies, past times and
social media.

3. The way I have represented my target audience in
my contents page is through the use of my
photographs and by the content of my articles.
The way that young white males would be
represented in my magazine is cool and calm, by
the attitude the model is giving off and the way he
seems to be brushing his hand through his hair
and brushing something off.The way young white
females again are represented are that they are
independent, edgy and strong.This is shown
through the attitude that comes across through
the picture and looking dead on at the camera,
slightly smirking without looking nervous or
slightly shy.Through the use of text and my third
picture on my contents page I represented past
times and hobbies of my target audience and
what they would be into in their free time.This
shows young people being interested in music,
gigs and artists lives and how they became who
they are and their rise.

5. Double Page Spread
On my double page spread I was able to use my photograph and the use of text in my Q andA style
article.This allowed me to portray the usual language of a young person and show what they might say to
certain scenarios. My photograph that I used for my double page spread represents young people as
artistic and fun due the colourful and artsy background that I used in my photo.This also captures the
background that my target audience has. By having my model this time without glasses and smiling
slightly more at the camera shows a different side to my front cover and contents page.This represents
young people as fun and creative, showing they can also have a younger side to their personalities.
Through my Q andA style interview I was able to show the way that my target audience may speak or
react to certain situations. I was able to capture the idiolect of someone that would be reading my
magazine through my article. By mentioning technologies such asYouTube and apps for mobile phones
this will attract young people to the magazine and also represents how young people are interest in this
type of technology and what they would be drawn too. By using popular names such as Jessie J, Ellie
Goulding,AmyWinehouse and Mumford and sons this represents they style of audience and what music
they’d be into as they’re buying this magazine with these names featured. Using quite mature language
with no colloquial terms but still keeping the answers informal represents the maturity of young readers
but still keeping in with the younger feel of the magazine and they way that young males and females
choose to present themselves.
