How does the magazine represent certain social groups

teens

 The front page is a teen DJ showing a stern face. This shows despite the stereotype of teens being “fun-loving”, they can be serious threats in certain industry. 

 The contents page shows some album art from an album featuring elsewhere in the magazine, it shows the model in the spotlight and the vinyl also in the spotlight. Despite this it shows him quite relaxed. This shows that despite the pressure of a spotlight he is cool calm and relaxed.

This is also the same with bill myers on the cover page.

Mise’en’scene, The model on the front cover is wearing headphones. We did this to show that they are constantly into music. This solidifies the serious role they have in the music industry.

Males

Our magazine represents male’s as quite reflective as seen on the front cover unlike the stereotypes of males as reckless and risk taking.

Our contents page shows that males are capable of great success and can rise highs that they didn't expect. 

our main story on the double page spread shows that males can still quarrel despite rising to these highs and greatness of success. 

Why did we use these models.

These models are young meaning they are in their prime and are the future and eventually legacy of dance/ electro music. This is why we feature them on the magazine, more publicity, more fame, more money, people realise that we here at chord mag were the ones who first publicised this sort of talent.

These people are also very reputable in the music industry and are well viewed throughout the world of dance music. So we use them as they are popular this builds on our views.

We also used these models as they fit with our target audience

who would be the audience:

We chose our target audience as teens 20’s and possibly 30’s. We chose this audience as these are the age groups whom are most interested in dance music, these people also love to go to festivals. We are advertising and updating information on euro-  fest. We also asked members of our target audience, they said the font was simple but stylish. They also said that it looks professional. Examples include things like the website and the layout. My target audience have also picked up on the photoshop usage and how professional that looks especially on the contents page. We used hashtags to appeal to our audience, people of that age often use hashtags to share things and involve other people into a certain trend by using a hashtag i am immediately involving an audience who can share what we at chord have told.
