 HOW DOES MY MAGAZINE
REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS?

I believe my magazine represents social class of E as

the magazine is a music magazine about rap, the genre
of rap has a stereotype of black males that wear baggy
clothes that are known to be violent, which is why the
targeted audience is the social group E as they would
more likely listen to the rap genre rather than someone
in the social group A/B who would maybe listen to classic
music. My magazine is also aimed for people around ages
16-25 as the younger people are more likely to be
interested in my magazine based on its genre and
content.
 HOW DOES MY MAGAZINE
REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS USING
IMAGES?

The images within my

magazine represent social
groups by the way that the
artists within my product are
dressed. The artists are seen
wearing t-shirts and jeans with
trainers with hoodies, this
represents that they are not
higher class and do not wear
formal clothing like suits.
 HOW DOES MY MAGAZINE
REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS
THROUGH TYPOGRAPHY?

The typography and

language used within my
magazine is large bold font,
this is because my magazine is
informal and uses slang and
modern English. This
represents the social groups of
the magazine as it says that
the people reading will be
someone who is lower class
rather than someone who is
higher class which may listen

moments which represents the I also used the colour

 WHAT KIND OF INSTITUTION MIGHT
DISTRIBUTE MY MAGAZINE AND WHY?

I believe an institution like Time Inc. UK would be best to

distribute my magazine as the have over 350 million copies
previously sold from other magazines they distribute such as; NME,
Look, Uncut and others. This institution would be able to distribute
my magazine to a wider audience as they already have a large
audience that buy their other magazines. My magazine will be
distributed throughout shops but can also be distributed through
digital ways through mobile phones or personal computers, this will
allow for a gain in a fan base.
 WHAT KIND OF INSTITUTION MIGHT
DISTRIBUTE MY MAGAZINE AND WHY?

Time Inc also produces similar productions to mine

such as NME which is a music magazine which
focuses on less popular music. NME have produced
magazines about artists such as Kendrick Lemar and
Jay-Z which are similar to my artists used within my
magazine. NME has a large fan base and I think that
Time Inc can also distribute my magazine to similar
figures as NME. Time Inc have also produced other
well known magazine such as Look which gets
roughly 116,000 viewers of the product through print
and digital distribution.
