Evaluation Question 2

• 2.
  • The youngerdemographic is represented through the featured artist ‘Lily Wilkinson’, who is a 17 year old female solo artist. I have chose to do this as the target audience of my magazine is 16-26 years old, I felt using a featured artist of similar age would allow the reader to relate more to the content of the magazine.Through the article I have written about the featured artist I have presented a positive representation of the younger demographic. A much more relatable and realistic representation of the age group, this is shown through the pull quote ‘I was trying hard to control my inner fan girl!’
• 3.
  • The womenportrayed in my magazine aren’t shown in a stereotypical provocative way, which is common in most music magazines. Through not portraying women in a provocative way I'm challenging the stereotypical representation. I have challenged this through the clothes the artist is wearing and also the way she is positioned and photographed. A more positive image of women is represented to the younger demographic.
• 4.
  • I've createda positive representation of this young age range, as the images have an exciting and care free look about them. I was able to create this through the mise en scene. Fun and light hearted facial expressions of the models also help to create a positive representation of this young age group. The clothes the artist is wearing isn’t provocative and she is quite covered up. The clothes also appear to be quite masculine representing a strong, independent woman through the artist wearing a black leather jacket and a blue denim shirt.
• 5.
  • My magazinehas a similar social group to magazines such as NME and Kerrang. Both are aimed at similar age groups and also represent their cover artists and other featured artists in a similar way to my magazine. They also have the same target audience and age group.
