My media product represents particular social groups because when I did my market research I reviewed what I had found about the content, layout ect of the magazine. I made sure that the magazine I created would be something that is appealing and interesting in ways on content for someone who is interested in the subculture of ‘Rock Music’.
In my research I found that each magazine that I analysed had slight differences in the layout from issue to issue in the means of cover lines, and smaller images on the front cover, but each issues is still recognisable by the fans because of the house style and colour scheme which is key to developing a fan base that will instantly recognise your magazine. I also noticed that the more attractive the person is on the front cove of the magazine the more people then become interested in buying it. I also noticed that people on the front of magazine tend to either be young between 18 – 25 or are someone that the youth of today would recognise because this means that they will be attracted to buy the magazine.
As people are more likely to purchase a magazine with an attractive model on the front cover I chose a good looking model, and I didn’t do it by accident. By picking a young, attractive female model that fits the image of the subculture that I am trying to appeal to I am going to sell my magazine. The amount of flesh that I am showing on my front cover is because men are going to find that attractive, you can also see the outline of her chest area and is wearing a corset which is usually associated with underwear and this is going to make men sexually intrigued and attracted to her. I also made the image look fun, with the fact that her mouth is open and smiling and it appears that she is shouting something, so even if men do not find her sexually attractive they think that she looks fun and would be a laugh to go out with. I made the point of not making her look like a traditional female because that is not what people interested in this type of music are interested in, this is why females interested in this genera of music will also find her attractive. In the front cover image my model does look individual, but her hair and make-up are very well done, this is something that the girls can relate to and they will want to look like her because she is so individual and has a lot of attention because of it.
As my model is quite young she is going to appeal to my target audience of 16 – 25 year olds that are both male and female and are interested in the Rock music sub culture. The way my colour scheme and mise en scene has been done on the front cover automatically makes it eye catching. I have done everything to make my magazine appealing to the target audience which consists of rock music fans like, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Punk, Indie. My magazine caters for all of these styles and more because of the vast range of material and interviews and coverage I have chosen for it.
There is a chance that my magazine my also appeal to slightly older fans of rock music, as I have featured older rock artist such as ‘Slash, Bryan May, Iron Maiden’. The idea of ‘Rock Sounds’ is that it incorporates new chart rock music and older classic rock artist to try and appeal to as many people as possible. As well as broaden the audiences taste in Rock Music.
