Evaluation Activity 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?


The type of social group that I am tryin to attract my magazine for are those that fit into the clubber social group which are also known as Ravers. The males from this group would be the ones who I would be targetting, they tend to wear jeans and have t shirts with graphic prints on them. Types of brands that they like are Diesel and topman they are known to go to music festivals such as V festival which is more mainstream. V includes some electronic bands and DJ in its line up which is what I focused on in my magazine. And as the names suggests they like to go to clubs on a weekend night out so they quite like listening to DJ's and bands. Also those assocated with this group about 50% read magazines. They are also big fans of technology and games consoles, I have included a section that focuses on the technology side.
The key points that I wanted to represent was a sense of the youth culture of today targeting 15-21 males, the headphones used are also 'skull candy headphones' which are a well known brand of headphones within this particular age and social group.  
What I also focused on the headphones, this is because of growing fashion of wearing headphone, they are also associated with DJs like my artist. I took inspiration from Tiesto wearing a shirt which is the same as what my artist is wearing. Also as he is known as a solo artist that does a lot of DJ sets in various clubs I thought I would associate my artists with that background 
Difference between the two are obviously the hair style is different Tiesto has shorter hair than my artist, in these picture the positions of the headphones are different in each photo. In other photos they are changed however. 
So to conclude the males I am targetting are classed as clubbers they are very out going and are out a lot at the weekend or a club. They follow a simple dress sense graphic t-shirt and jeans which is also what my artists wear in the magazine.

  1. The order of your response is incorrect. Begin by clearly stating which social group (I assume clubbers).

    Use this link

    and research ravers. Then attempt this answer once more.
