My productCostumeThe use of dark clothing was used to portray a
stereotypical emo. There was also the use of band t-shirt which is stereotypically commonly found on emos. This also shows the audience the type of bands that will be discussed in the magazine.

My productMakeupDark makeup was used to portray a stereotypical
‘emo’. Her dark eyes and lips connote death which is a common theme associated with ‘emos’. You can also see by her facial expression that she is feeling negative which conforms with the stereotype that emos are depressive.

My productColoursThe bright colours of the font has challenged the
stereotype of an emo which is usually associated with dark colours. I did this to represent a wider audience of ‘scene’ who are usually stereotyped as really bright colours. I did this to appeal to the widest target audience possible to increase sales and profit for my magazine.
