2. Why My Front Cover Image Represents Social
Groups:
• Firstly, I have chosen my front cover image as a representation of the social groups
because I believe that my model (Matty’s) pose is a typical late teenage pose which is
used a lot in various magazines like ‘NME’ & ‘Kerrang!’ (you will see this on my
earlier blog post where you will see examples of similar poses)
• I have used this pose because it is a statement of ‘anger’ and I believe it looks
effective on the front cover because of the eye contact and the ‘growly’ gesture is
relatable to my target audience (as you will also see in my earlier blog post which is
named ‘question 2…’ where I interview members of college who my magazine is
aimed at.)
3. And Lastly… The Picture Itself Annotated:
The guitar and
his pic holder
necklace tells us
he is a musician
and the colour
red represents
anger (like his
expression looks)
‘Angry’ expression-
typical teen who likes his
music as evidence he is
holding a guitar
Dressed like a stereotypical
‘indie’ teenager with his
hoody and the coloured
skull t-shirt- we associate
skulls with rock.#m
