How does my magazine represent particular social groups?

 My main artist in my magazine, represents young, alternative adults. She represents a large amount of my intended audience as she is a young female. Although she is slightly older than the very youngest end of my target audience (15-17) she is presented as a strong female figure that the younger audience may aspire to be.

She also represents females as being strong and independent and as someone to look up to as there are little well known female artists in the metal genre. She is also modestly dressed, showing that you don't need to be overly sexual to be a successful woman. Along with this she also presents uniqueness and extreme styles in a positive way, through the friendliness of how she appears to sound in the interview. 

The dark colours shown in the clothing, hair and make-up of my artist is very stereotypical of females in metal music. Corsets and facial piercings are also associated with metal music, meaning that the audience can clearly link the image of the artist with the music she represents.

Another way that teenagers and young adults are represented in my magazine is through use of slang and an informal mode of address. The casual use of swearing and slang is used frequently among teenagers and young adults so I have replicated this in my magazine, meaning my target audience can connect with my magazine easier.
