2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Before I took the photos for my magazine I had to do a lot of research into which type of audience I was going to appeal my magazine to. After looking at various other magazines that portray similar music interests to my magazine I had an idea as to what my target audience would look like. One of these magazines was NME. I found their website and found some interesting stats that could be useful.

For my photos I used natural light so the picture did not appear too bright or too dark. My models chose what they wanted to wear as I wanted them to be a controversial act. The female is wearing dark eye makeup to enhance the eyes and the boy is wearing glasses to give him a mysterious look, as if he is hiding.
