How my magazine follows the represtation of social groups
My magazine appeals to the social group of punk-rockers through the stareotypical red, black and white colour scheme throughout, as red and black directly link to rock music and horror movies with red being a signifier for blood and black for darkness and night.
My front cover is constructed of many different images, the images depict the stareotypical ideology of a rock band with vibrant hair colours and confident facial expressions. My magazine converts the idea of rock from a male genre to more of a female outlook through the idea that my magazine is based on female rock icons of our era.
The use of the slanted sell line box gives the impression of carelesness which also conotes to my target audience of punk-pop-rock lovers through the idea that they love to be individualists.
My contents page follows the same idea with the female theme running through, it also has my colour scheme. One of the images on my contents page depicts a male guitarist in mid-air, this powerfully highlights the idea of the social group the magazine is directed towards through the abbrassive stance and the flicking long hair (as stareoptypically punk rocker males have long hair). The text is bold which conotes the typical rocker attitude of being bold and individualm whilste the background is minimalistic to give my images the right amount of exposure.
The title page of my double-page spread conveys the key theme I will be speaking of in my double-page spread. I have used a full bleed image to grab the audiences attention and make it obvious to who this is about, being female with black long hair which connotes to my target audience through the idea of punk-rockers typically having long hair of either very dark or very light coloured hair. The black borders stand out strongly highlighting the strong individualist nature of my target audience.
