Foundation Portfolio- The Evaluation- Question 2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Throughout my front cover and contents page, I used several words that relate towards a modern audience such as on my Front Cover where the puff is written in a rock fan style which I wrote as an attempt to grab attention for my target audience. Expect for maybe my double page article on Ringo Starr, which is done in a more analytical style than the others because an earlier version was going to be written in the 3rd person about his life. However, when I couldn’t get any copyrighted images relating to him, I had to edit the article to a 1st person narrative by using an image of a college student and then claiming that the article was written by him, that he was a young rock star, and that this article was a tribute to Ringo Starr and his inspiration on his own career. That particular article is aimed mostly at the older generation between the ages of 35-50 because they are most familiar with time period that the Beatles preformed in The front cover’s design consists of a black and white image of a drum kit with a digitally altered blue colour added in to create a retro-style effect. I made these decisions because of my limited resources, but hopefully I can do better in the future. So in conclusion my magazine tries to be represented for a younger crowd in the front cover, but as I am more of an analytical person, the style gradually changes into a more informative approach in my article. So in conclusion, I have represented all the groups of rock fans, old and young in a stereotypical way because of the use of colour, images and information.
