Representing particular social groups through my media product.

Wireless magazine represents the target audience I am aiming my magazine at in the way I see them to be. I don't believe this to be in a stereotypical manor, however the dominant representation of my target audience of consumers is likely to be the way the model is dressed however my media product doesn't categorise certain types of people everyone had different ideologies of how the person who reads the music magazine should dress but the target audience I am aiming at are individuals including their socio-economic class, gender, ethnic group and sexual orientation.

On the front cover of my magazine I use a medium close up and a medium long shot, the first one being head on and the medium long shot I asked the model to look back over his shoulder, as my magazine is targeted for people who appreciate good indie music or acoustic artists I dressed the model in what I believed the consumers would dress in, However the photographs I took of the model show a confident person without insecurities my ideology of a indie music listener is a confident individual not following the crowd listening to manufactured pop they aren't hiding anything and they haven't got insecurities with themselves they are who they are.

The masthead WIRELESS connotes a sense of freedom much similar to the consumers of the magazine, written in white against a dark background stands out, with block capital letters being used it ties in it with the connotation of what the consumers of the music magazine are said to promote , the sense of confidence being a bold and individual person.

The masthead Wireless gives me the impression of freedom, people who don't want to be tied down, they are young and want to be out there in the big world, ‘Unsigned’ shows that the consumers don't want to follow a trend they want to spread out and find out about other artists they are prepared to find the music they like and wait than sit and listen for the top 20 on the radio station.

In my magazine it features a double page spread of an unsigned artist also pictured on the front cover of my music magazine, the spread is an interview with the artist, it connotes throughout who the audience are who listens to his music similar to the consumers of the magazine, the photographs of the artist once again show confidence and individuality with his crazy hair style and un ironed clothing also similar to readers of wireless.
