How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My initial aim as a social group was to target 16-25 year old's, this would be mainly college and university students. Though they would obviously enjoy music, they are from a generation where fashion and its culture mix in with the music scene so people in this group would be particularly interested in the different music and experience than just the plain sound. Like most magazines aimed at this age group, it is at a similar price which is enough for the content provided, but not over budget for a student who would not be able to afford the luxury all the time. Overall, Whistling Dawg fits a teenage/young adult audience, both male and female and if anything, predominately female.
My front cover picture is engaging with the reader by looking into the camera with a background of yellow and themes of orange and black (all neutral colours) fitting with both genders.
As well as pictures, my magazine uses 'up to date' language, so it is more of a fun read and relates to the desired audience.
The questions asked in the interview are questions the average teenager would want to know, again, relating with the audience as if they themselves were asking the question. I had previously looked in to the language used as well as the formality of interviews in music magazines, and aimed for a similar approach.
