Q2: How does your magazine represent particular social groups?

This is the original image which I used for my Front Cover. The outfit which my artist was wearing followed the colour scheme of my magazine, black, white and red. She wore a loose fitting modern t-shirt, with rolled up the sleeves to show her young age of early 20's. This colour scheme continued through to the prop of the guitar which is also black and white, linking to the conventional rock magazine colour schemes. I gave her the electric guitar as she is part of a band and plays the guitar aswell as being the lead singer, it connotes the style of rock group she is in. Her hair has been backcombed to make it messy as stereotypical rock stars have messy hairstyles. Her facial expression of agression show the genre being rock music. On the right is an example of Q magazine with a strong image to suggest the genre of music, it also follows the traditional colour scheme to connote the rock music genre. Her heavy make-up of dark eyes and red lipstick is also very similar to my artist.



This is the original image which I used as the main image on my double page spread. The outfit which my artist is wearing is the same as the front cover for the same reasons as stated above, also it is used to keep it recognisable to be the same feature article. The camera angle looking up at the artists demonstrates her high status and power she has, which will appeal to the target audience as they are attracted to the authoritive nature and desire to have the same power. Her stance and posture, of her hand on her hip, also clearly demonstrates her supremacy and influence. To the right is an image of KERRANG!'s front cover demonstrating the same low angle that I used, again to present the artists dominating, powerful nature.
