When talking about social groups we need to take into consideration Gender, Age, Ethnicity, Social class and status.
Looking at my front cover and at the colours, they portray a masculine image. The image of the male model also maculates the page, however it fits into the Rock genre as there is a large ratio difference of male to females, males are stereotypically the gender of a rock group, and come to think of it, I can only think of one female Rock artist and that is Evanescence.
The model that appears on the front cover relates to the target audience as he is of similar age.
When someone mentions ethnicity, people tend to think manly about race and skin colour, however there is more to it; these include Nationality, Language, religion and culture. On my front cover I can think of three different ethnical differences. The lower banner has the band name ‘Jet’ on it, ‘Jet’ is an Australian rock band, Biffy Clyro is also mentioned and they are a Scottish band. The rest of the people on the front cover and all the other media products are English.
Social class and status wise I believe that my magazine will appeal to those of working and middle class. At £1.50 my magazine is extremely cheap value and is affordable for my predicted class. The language style is set as informal consistently throughout my production.
