Starting Question 2 using Emaze

Today I started Question 2 on Emaze. Using Emaze is very easy and also there are variety of themes to pick from. I picked the 'Hands' theme because on Question one whilst using PowToon, I also used the hand theme which means using hands for both question seemed like the most appropriate thing to do as it looks more put together and more interesting. It is good that I can add as many images as I want, and the slide does not have a small size which means I do not have issues with trying to fit things on the slide.

Question 2 Draft-  The social group that my magazine is aimed at is teenagers and young adults between the ages of 16-22. My Front cover, contents page and DPS reflect my social group because there are many features like the model, the colour scheme and the text used eg slang and many more things which show that my magazine is aimed at this specific social group.

In my magazine I used slang because many teenagers use slang as part of their everyday language. As my magazine is aimed at mainly teenagers and young adults, I predicted that they all use slang which means using related words would make the audience feel more involved as if the magazine is made for them. Old people wouldn't be able to understand slang which means it is almost like a code that teenagers use to only communicate with each other.

My magazine is aimed at 16-22 year olds and on my front cover, we can see that my model does not look like an adult which challenges the stereotype because usually on rock magazines we see adults as the cover picture because there are not many young rock singers that are famous. However the fact that the model has tattoos and wears black with an 'emo' hair follows the norms of a rock magazine because it is seen as Gothic which does not challenge stereotypes. 

This image I took that I used as part of one of the posters in my magazine challenges the stereotypes of Rock/Metal magazines. This is because usually the people that are in rock magazines are from a white background. Their ethnicity is majority white and we never usually see mixed raced or black people in rock magazines which is unusual. I wanted to challenge this stereotype because there are many black/mix raced metal/ rock singers out there that are not famous. Featuring a person that does not come from a white background in my magazine makes my magazine unique and different. It also challenges gender stereotypes because as we can see the model is a girl dressed like a boy, which is what we call 'tomboy' or 'stud'. This shows that my magazine does not support racism and does not see gender as socially constructed.

Audience- The audience of my magazine is reflected through the images that I have used in my front cover, contents page and DPS.  Although I have more male models than female, my magazine is aimed equally both at females and males. I have not given a range and made it equal because like I have stated before, my magazine does not separate genders. I have both female, male, and any other people that may not classify themselves in a specific gender. 

Like I have stated before, the social class is shown through the images used in the magazine and many other things. However, the images that are in the magazine also reflect a subculture. Rock/Metal opens up variety of subcultures like 'Emo' and 'Scene's. It also involves subcultures of fans. Subcultures give people a sense of belonging which means people that are readers of my magazine will feel connected to each other. My model also looked like he was part of a subculture because of his stereotypical tattoos and mid-length hair and the trousers he was wearing which looked Gothic.
