How does my media product represent particular social groups

Artist has slit eyebrows slit and diamond earring showing he is up to date with current trends. As well as this he is wearing a

trendy jacket which is currently in fashion.

This artist is wearing an adidas jacket and a new era cap which is in fashion right now so males can

relate to him . Also he has a blackberry in his right hand

which is the must have phone at the moment

My magazine is aimed towards young males from ages16-30.my magazine would

probably be getting more of a black audience due to the fact majority of the

models and artists are black .I would also say that it is obvious that my magazine is

aimed at young males as most of the artists are male and the advertisements

are also male.

Masthead associated with breaking a sound

barrier. Often associated with loud teenagers

Young popular artist
