Question 3 and 4 as evaluation
- 1. QUESTION 3 & 4 PRESENTATIONAL ISSUES & INSTITUIONS
- 2. Presentational Issues How does your magazine represent particular social groups? My music magazine represents the social group of ‘young teenagers to young adults’ as them being convicted with miss- uses of drugs, sex, alcohol and mostly violence that occur in the UK alone. This is thought to be true because they are more reckless and violent towards the community as well as the government. This is highly portrayed in London as young teenagers are convicted of drugs, sex, alcohol and violence most of the time. In my magazine I represent that young teenagers “started from the bottom, now we here” these are lyrics from a rap artist called Drake who is well-known the music industry as well as Hip Hop, rap etc. These lyrics suggest that he started from the bottom where he poor, poor educated and was accused of being a convict. But right now he has loads of money and now his wealthy. My magazine represents that young teenagers try to aim high as in be wealthy and popular. So the young teenagers try to follow trends from other people but then try set their own trends which make them wealthy and popular. However in other countries like America ‘hip hop’ rap is kind of similar to UK ‘hip hop’ rap because of what the purpose is behind the lyrics they think of and speak as they walk to the mic. But my music magazine only portrays UK alone rather than other poor areas in the world, aiming at the London streets.
- 3. Institutions What kind of institution might distribute your magazine and why? For my music magazine I would consider distributing it to certain institutions to gain revenue and such. My music magazine targets mainly males however could appeal to women who would enjoy reading my magazine, so I would distribute it to big institutions like ‘WHS smith’ as this institution is well-known for mainly books, newspapers, general accessories for school etc especially magazines ranging from kids to adult magazines. This could give me an advantage to target different ages as there are different kinds of magazines that held and sold there. Solely I would consider in distributing my music magazine in that store to gain revenue and to advertise my magazine to a range of ages. Another institution which I would consider would be a food supermarket like ‘Asda’ which sells a lot off food & groceries as well as books and magazines, again ranging from kids to adults. This would be a great advantage because a lot of customers attend the shop everyday to shop which could advertise to them. So if I was to distribute my music magazine their then customers who purchase my magazine would go there every week to get the next issue which would benefit me and the company Asda.
