How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My magazine is in the alternative genre which means it represents the alternative social group as my magazine uses dark colours throughout the magazine such as black and dark blue, this represents the alternative social group as people who like alternative music stereotypically like dark colours and enjoy wearing dark colours and clothes that represent alternative bands. In my magazine I dressed my models in dark colours such as burgundy jumper and I also dressed them in a alternative music t-shirt which helps connect with the fans.

 Another way I have represented alternative social group is including bands from the alternative genre such as Paramore. On my front cover of my magazine I use a image of my model where they are looking forward and looking happy this is direct mode of address I included this even though alternative people are stereotypically looking sad this makes the fans wonder why someone in alternative genre is so happy and want to read the article. Another way I have represented my social group is that I used an article that highlights some of the problems that are faced by a lot of people in the alternative social group as many people who enjoy alternative music are some part of the LGBT+ community  this will help the fans have someone like them who they can look up to and they will feel represented and want to read the article to find out what happens to them.
