Evaluation Question 2-How does your media product represent particular social groups?

With my products I have tried to represent the 'Indie' and 'Alternative' social groups. One of the ways I have done this is by displaying bands from these genres in my sell lines to represent these social groups.  Examples include Foster The People, Miles Kane, General Fiasco and Jack White.

 Another way I have represented these social groups is with costume. The Indie genre is usually represented with light hoodies, t-shirts and jeans, which is what my models are wearing in order to represent the indie genre.

Rough Cut

Here, I have completed my front cover, but I haven't yet finished my contents page or my DPS. The reason I haven't finished is because I have missed a few lessons, and therefore have not had the time to finish everything I needed to.   

Test shots

Here are some test shots that I have taken in the photography studio:

Font Research

I went on www.dafont.com to look for some fonts in order to make my magazine look more professional. Taking the genre of my magazine into consideration, I decided that the type of font that would best suit the magazine would be a clean, modern looking style.

Some of the fonts I have chosen include:

Highway Gothic-I liked this font because it looks modern, which fits well with the genre of music and its target audience. I decided to use it as my masthead for my front cover, because although it doesn't stand out very much, it is a similar type of font that is used in magazines like Q and Mojo. I also used it in y contents page in two different varieties-wide (for the sell lines of the contents page) and condensed (for the sub-headings).

Code Bold-I decided to use this font for the masthead on my DPS, because it is a simple but effective looking font, which fits well with the genre of my magazine, and follows the same style of similar magazines.
