Magazine Evaluation: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media product represents a urban and modern up-to-date social group, this is because the hip hop genre is a very changeable style of music and a constantly different feel to it, sometimes it can be soft and other times it can be intense, this is why it needs a very quick and understanding audience, that are going to hear new songs in the hip hop style all the time. Therefore it is most likely listened to by young males from inner city areas, this is because of the constant contact they have with music, whether it's over the internet, radio or television, there is a strong garuntee that they will come into some hip hop musical contact throughout the day because the sound of hip hop is so global and it's also promoted very well. The hip hop genre is furthermore know by young males because many of their friends listen to it and therefore it would have an influence for them to listen to it and it would spread from all different types of male social groups. To conclude this, there are also female social groups that like the hip hop genre and would therefore listen to it over various different types of media, but this group would possible be more limited than the male group. Therefore my media product doesn't represent a social group, instead it represents a variety of different younger generations of social groups.

My front cover was a perfect example of how my magazine represented social groups, you can tell from the title "Treble" that it surrounds the hip hop genre. This is because the style of hip hop  incorporates a lot of treble and base into it so I thought it was fitting to name it after a iconic convention. The reader can also make links that it's directed at a urbanised audience that expect it to be a hip hop magazine because my models impose themselves onto the scene and give the cover a serious look, furthermore to garuntee the iconography of hip hop i got them to dress up in dark baggy clothing which is commonly seen in hip hop music videos.
