The document discusses how the cover, contents page, and article of a music magazine represent a particular social group. The cover features Callum, a teenage white heterosexual man, portrayed in a laid-back, rebellious style associated with modern rock. The contents page features Brad, also a white heterosexual male, staring into the distance to represent remembering Glastonbury. Callum and Paula are pictured going head-to-head for the number one spot. Brad again appears in the article staring at the header "The man who would be king" to represent his goal of becoming the king of rock. The magazine aims to represent slightly edgy rock music and the young social groups that follow this genre.

2. How does my cover represent a
particular social group?
This here is my cover for my music magazine. I have chosen to use
my friend Callum Martinger, who is a teenage, white heterosexual
man. He is the artist portrayed on the cover due to his modern,
stylish look. He has been portrayed to be wearing sunglasses and
loose-fitting clothing which is often associated with the laid-back,
rebellious modern rock theme.
The pull quote ‘I am not lucky, I am blessed suggests that the artist
is adamant that luck is not the way to his success and is trying to
inspire other artists to not rely on luck. The fact that he is blessed
is used in order to create a mysterious theme to the character as to
what he is blessed by.
I have presnted my artist to be doing a rather straight, moody kind
of glare towards the camera. This un-nerving look is symbolic of
the rock music genre and is used to create a rather tense
atmosphere.

3. How does my contents page
represent a particular social group?
This here is my contents page, it is presented in the same way as my
article; rock themed. For the main picture I have used my friend
Brad, who is also a male, white heterosexual character. He is
portrayed to be staring into the distance as this interacts with the
pull-quote ‘I made Glastonbury a night to remember’. The fact that he
is staring into the distance suggests that he is looking like he is
remembering the night of Glastonbury.
Brad is also used to present the modern-rock theme because of the
clothing he is wearing. The flannel shirt and white t-shirt is a very
popular choice of clothing for many young, modern rock artists in
this day and age.
The two other pictures are of my friends Callum and Paula. Paula is
presented to be a black, heterosexual charachter They are portrayed
to be going head-to-head for the number one spot in the charts and
battling it out at the top. This is why I have posed them in a very
stern, un-nerving way as it shows that they are not messing around
and they mean business.

4. How does my article represent a
particular social group?
For my music magazine article I have again used Brad
on it. He is presented to be staring at the header of
‘The man who would be king’. This suggests that he has
his eyes set on his future goal in becoming the king of
rock and is aiming to reach that very goal. I have
chosen for him to use the same form of clothing as it
represents the rock bands well. Down below is an
example of who I am presenting him to look like.
The flannel shirt and the white t-shirt link together with
the theme of presenting Brad as a modern rockstar.
The image to the left is a modern band called 5sos and
they are presented to be modern rockstars which is how I
have presented my artist to be.

5. Overall representation
 The overall representation of my music magazine
product is that it is meant to represent the slightly
edgy rock genre of music and the social group/groups
that follow. I feel that I have represented these social
groups accurately and have presented my artists in a
way to do so. The social group presented is mainly of
young age which I have shown through my use of
teenage characters.
