Representation - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social class for a magazine is incredibly important because without it prices for magazines would be sky high and no one would know what magazine to buy. The demographics of my magazine are:

Age - Teens (16-24 years)

Gender – male

Education – High school/ young college students/youth

Income of family - Low to middle

Marital status - Single

-The psychographics of my magazine:

Lifestyle – Easy going, Busy with homework and coursework sometimes, love music

Religion – No specification 

Activities and interests – Hanging around with mates, listening/playing to music, educational work.

These two photos have similarities in the way that they are both male, leaning against a hard surface and sitting on the floor. Their clothing is also similar, jackets and jeans but their background could be of a different ethnicity. The camera angle is not also the same in both photos the first second photo has a front view whereas the first photo has a side on view. The lighting in the photo's looks quite natural and not edited. In the photo on the left and the right the lighting is natural and complimenting and not made to look synthetic. 

The subculture that my magazine fits into and is targeted at is indie. “Indie kids” are known for listening to music that tends to only consist of a singers voice, guitar, bass guitar and drums. They wear converse trainers, skinny jeans and a t-shirt, sometimes they play guitar, and Indie is a mix of the Mods and Rockers. The magazine would have quite a lot of advertisements in because I feel that the audience would like to look at advertisements, they would be of a more visual type.

The magazine is aimed at the male indie youth. Their personality revolves around being a little bit rude but overall a good person to be around. They buy converse trainers and would play guitar. They also might smoke and drink alcohol and attend festivals in the summer and gigs in the winter.
