Evaluation - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I think that my magazine represents a particular group of people who like fashion, art, culture and music. I can see people from the ages of 16 to 25 maybe, I have created quite a young and modern magazine which represents a young group of people who care about fashion, celebrity culture and of course pop music. The artists that I could see being in my magazine that are current right now are people like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Madonna even though this is a young and modern magazine, I think that Madonna represents the evolution of POP re-creating her music and re-inventing herself so many times to keep people interested.

Another artist who is simliar to mine is someone like Katy Perry. They are both Pop artists and have re-created themselves and their sounds to be current.

Katy Perry's style is very fun and colourful, ever since her recent second album 'Teenage Dream' she has totally changed her appearance from her debut album 'One of the Boys' which was a very classic girl next door look. Listening to both albums, you can clearly see the differences, at the very start of her first single 'I Kissed A Girl' people thought she was a one hit wonder. but she then continued to released top 10 hits like 'Hot N Cold' and 'Waking Up In Vegas' to show that she really does have talent. Then coming back to the phenominal second album and single release 'California Gurls' featuring Snoop Dog which went straight to numbr one.


Unlike Katy Perry, the artist featured in my magazine Chanel Smith started working in the music industry from a very young tender age and now she has come back by re-inventing herself and her sound to start the next stage of her life. They are both at the same age, race and styles and have the same target audience.




So I think these two artists represent a particular group of people who follow fashion trends, like to listen to pop music, they also have an appealing personlity and conifendence which will make it eaiser for the audience to like them.
