How does you media product represent particular social groups?

A magazine portrays a life style to people in which they influence people’s fashion, music and style in general.  My magazine shouts out a life style which is based on someone’s love of theatre.  The age of my social group would be late teens and early 20s.  In particular, students that see a future in the musical industry.  My magazine implies that the group of people it is aimed at is typically female.  My evidence of this is the use of the colour purple as well as the evidence in my feature article implying attraction to a male.  On my front over is an image of a girl who is seen with a black top on, minimal make up and quite a natural look.   This sells an image to the reader that they should be happy with themselves and can stand up bold with confidence.  I made sure that was the image of my magazine as I believe that this is what theatre is all about and that my target audience would be happier with having a positive, ‘’can-do’’, confident attitude.  I didn’t include much depth in technology or aggressive sport within my magazine as I don’t believe my target audience.  The technology of my audience would be basic and I don’t see them as being interested in the latest news to do with it.  They wouldn’t be interested in aggressive sport as they would be very mind set on keeping fit but through sports such as dance, yoga and calmer things.  Due to my target audience being students, I tended to avoid things with too much expense as students can not usually afford such luxuries.  My images represent people with a cheeky, confident look as they would be used to being on stage and performing in front of others which is something readers would want within themselves.
