My music magazine has been made to represent
teenage ‘hard-core’, alternative music fans. I have
represented them by using bands that they would
listen to and having my feature article on a guy that fits
into the genre/stereotype.
I have represented them in a stereotypical dominant
ideology, that is; having tattoos, looking angry, long hair, being
guy based, certain clothing, and being ‘rebellious’ and rough.
The images I have used in my music magazine follow the
dominant ideology as they are all of guys, have long
hair, stretched ears, piercings, tattoos, wear certain clothing. I
decided to use them as I wanted other people of the same
stereotype to relate and feel comfortable reading the magazine.
