How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The pictures above show indie rock band lead singer, Taylor Momsen and my model Trinity Maloy. Taylor Momsen is who I chose to base my models look on, so I feel the fan base for Taylor’s band The Pretty Reckless would represent the particular social group that my media product is reaching out to. Something I first noticed about Taylor Momsen is she dressed provocatively and wears excessive amounts of dark clothing and makeup, this is something I tried to recreate with my model for my magazine, I feel this shows her real rock side, and having this look on the front cover, shouts out to that particular social group, however, she’s in a girly dress, has long blonde hair, that looks relatively undone, and is doing a ‘soft’ pose, this then helps the photo and the magazine appeal to a larger audience, as a girly girl probably wouldn’t buy an indie rock magazine, however because my model looks girly and rocky, it may appeal to that audience as well. I also feel the way the model looks beautiful as well as being fairly rocky, it doesn’t rule out boys being interested in the magazine, as they know the interview isn’t going to be about hair do’s and nail varnish colours, its going to be about real life and her rock band, which helps it to appeal to a male audience. Overall I feel I represented my magazine, my photos as my model well, showing an obvious social group audience type within the indie/rock genre as there are huge similarities between bands around now and the cover artist of my magazine, making it already fit into the music magazine audience groups.
