How does your media product represent particular social groups? -Cover Page

Cover

My cover utilises the colourful palette and creativity of a college student with the cube shapes and vivid colours shown with the picture of my model. This outstanding colour within the dull colours of the background represents the fun that can be found within daily life, and therefore with this magazine due to the subtle association of the two.


The title was chosen, as it's formal and orderly, retaining the colour palette of the text, while also proving to be presented completely unique, adding to it's individuality. College students I questioned told me that they liked computers, music, film etc., and so the title seemed an appropriate fit. The subheadings chosen represent the target audience due to their appeal to the target audience, and the rotation of the top and bottom ones again add a college-related twist to the order; college students tend to like to escape from their heavy workload, and also find themselves as being disorganised at times.

The model is facing towards the titles, as if attracted to them, and as a person of similar age, by her appearance, to the target audience, they will assume that people of a similar sort (themselves) will enjoy and be attracted to this magazine. 
The magazine also features subtitles associated directly with students of the college, such as the NCUS card. This heavily shows and represents the people likely to buy the magazine, as this is very specific to the audience.
