The media product, Disturb magazine, represents late teen and young adult English-speaking males interested in both new and old music. The magazine uses images and design elements like red text and circles to appeal to its target audience and convey a sense of rebellion, danger, and importance. These visual cues are intended to attract and engage the magazine's intended radical yet intelligent readership.

EVALUATION: QUESTION 2 How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The front cover Disturb magazine is aimed at males between the age stages of late teens to mid- twenties. They are also English speaking males, as the magazine is written in The use of the title Disturb English. shows that my audience are radicals because they want to ‘Disturb’ other people. The fact the magazine is for people who love both new and old music connotes a level of intelligence as a lot of work will have to be done to fill the magazine. The use of this photo on the front cover connotes and act of violence, disturbance and rebellion. This is because the image shows a young man in a black top with a half naked woman on it, a short (almost bald) haircut and screaming into a microphone. Some audiences may think that because he has a half naked picture on his shirt that he is more superior to women. But others may think that it shows that men cant live without women in their lives so they need to be around them all the time.
Contents page The use of the large image of the Deaf Havana guitarist in black and white on the contents page connotes that, because they are a modern day band, the magazine is trying to appeal to the older readers by making it look cool so to make people want to know more about it. The image also has a white frame around it this could make audiences think that the band are so good that they are to be hung on a wall. Others will just see it as eye catching. By having the names of the band Having the front page on the in blood red and contents page connotes that the other words in Disturb are really trying to show white connotes you how good it is and make you want to buy it again, this is that they have to also done by having the white be read because frame around the cover and the they are editors note. dangerous.
Double Page Spread In the centre of the double page spread I have a big red circle that has the words ‘Deaf Havana Live’ inside it, this connotes that, because it is red, people should stop and read it because it is almost like a stop sign. Audiences may also see that live music is a big part of the magazine because of the size of the word ‘Live’. By having the normal text a significant distance away it could mean to some audiences that there is a sense of danger about the circle and even the words are scared of it. The use of the drop capital in a different font could mean that some of the readers think that the capital is trying to be radical like them and stand out. Whereas others will just see a drop capital. The pull quote has the colour red on the important parts of the quote. This might mean to some audiences that, because the words are more important other parts in the magazine in red are more important, and on the front cover the new bands are in red whereas the old bands are in purple. So some people wont like this and have a negative view towards the magazine. The pull quote is on a quirky white background, this could mean to some audiences that it is like it has been cut out and stuck down on the page.
