I think my magazine positively represents this age group. I done this because I thought my media product needed to allow my audience to feel they have a connection to my artist. I also made my artist look very fashionable although she is only seen wearing a plain white top, the sunglasses and her make-up adds fashion to her look, and they are also readily available and are not accessories that my target audience would not be able to afford if they wanted to go out and buy them.
I thought this was important because as my model doesn’t have any connection with my audience through her eyes, they need to be able to relate to her or feel as if they can. Whereas some magazines represent wealth within their image through the clothes and props the artist is wearing. Another way in which I made my artist represent my audience is by wearing braids in her hair, in doing so she was representing not just African/Caribbean girls, but African/Caribbean females as a whole she is showing that her ethnicity is an important part of her character, and also allows other females of these ethnic background to feel comfortable with this. Unlike some other magazines that just boost an artists appeal and look, and does not help their audience feel they can relate to the artist.
My magazine is targeted at more urban social groups who appreciate the r&b music genre. My contents page also has another girl and a boy who also represent this ethical background with the way in which they look.
They do not represent wealth, but health. I decided to do this as there are not many magazines that don’t emphasise the meaning of good wellbeing and health, and this is shown in my magazine, as well as showing a passion for music and fashion. Although the boy featured in my contents page is not seen to be wearing a lot of chains or have grills in his teeth which many rap artists do, he is representing those who have a passion for music and people with talent, without expressing his success through his wealth.
