How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media product is aimed towards the youth (18-30) and represents a rock/pop/indie type of musical taste, therefore it attracts people who are interested in this style of music. As the main artist on my magazine is female, the consumer may feel like it's swayed towards a female audience however the other content mentioned shows that it relates to both male and females.

I also wanted to encorporate personality into the photoshoot therefore I looked for ideas during research and the example is shown below:

What type of institution might distributy your media product and why?
IPC Media stributes one of the most popular magazines, NME. I have based some elements of my layout and typography on those similar to NME, for example I have used the same font on my front page quote as they have on the example I showed in my research stage. However, as I have used similar elements and my music magazine strongly relates to NME, this means that IPC would be less likely to distribute my magazine as the 2 genres are too similar, therefore another company would give it more rivalry.
Bauer Media would be more likely to distribute my magazine, although it currently owns another popular music magazine 'Q', I feel that my magazine would fit nicely within their company and be a strong rival to the productions from IPC media. However, both companies are very sucessful, therefore either would be a strong company to have as your main distributor as you'd earn a lot of profit and as they already have a good reputation, that would be quickly gained towards my medi product also.

Who would be the audience for your media product?
The media product which I have created is aimed at 18-30 year olds, both genders who are interested, passionate and open minded when it comes to choice and genre of music. The typical person who would buy my magazine would be working class so they understand the context and language which is used throughout and they would shop in places such as H&M, Republic, New Look, TopShop/TopMan and River Island. Therefore their style would be casual and also laid back at the same time, with some class but not too expensive, this also represents the price of the magazine which I set.
Bands which would be listened to by the consumer are bands such as; Kings of Leon, The Kooks, Florence + The Machine, Biffy Clyro,
Coldplay, Foo Fighters, The Killers, Maroon 5, Muse, Two Door Cinema
Club, The Vaccines, Reptillia, Weezer, The Strokes and Razorlight.
These artists are similar to the ones which I have used within my music magazine and I chose these so they relate and appeal to the target audience.
