I believe my media product represents my social group in a positive way. Looking at the Front Cover, I haven't set a negative tone. The quote from the artist was deliberately chosen as it is quite inspirational, it will attract the targeted audience (which is teenagers interested in music) and inspire them to follow the new artists first year of success. The image chosen for the front cover of the magazine is an extreme closeup, it does not show the artists figure, just her facial features. This suggests that I am not focusing mainly on the artists 'look', just her voice, therefore little criticism may be made in me branding the artist as a 'model'. Following the contents page, I aimed to keep the magazine topics as 'down to earth', as I can relate to the targeted audience myself, relating to the 'fry up' breakfast, is a 'normal' subject, which I believe will interest my social group. The image of the artist again featuring on the contents page shows her in an urban background, this is conventional for indie artists, they never get shown in glamourous locations, which will help the reader identify with the artist. The artist is also in casual clothes; a jumper and pair of jeans. The bands like to look like their fans, so that the fans can feel like they are 'one of them'. The contents also offers a festival guide, this gives the best opportunity to my targeted audience to find out about the latest festivals, as I aim at youngsters passionate about music, from the magazine I am offering as much as I can. The double page spread again deliberately sets a positive tone, it can inspire young musicians to follow their dreams to succeed, with the detail of how the artist got into music and her success after her first year.
