Main Task, task 18, Evaluation Question 2
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
(a picture of a crowd at a gig which is a likely place for 'indie' social groups to be)
My media product represents the ‘indie’ social group firstly because of the model I used for my front cover image as he complies with the ‘indie’ stereotype this is evident through the clothes that he is wearing, as they are typical ‘indie’ style clothing. Moreover, the style, layout and structure of my magazine are similar to that of other music magazines of the same genre such as NME and Q. Also, my product conforms to the ‘indie’ social group as the content and the bands used for the content anchor the style of music and the kind of bands that the audience listen to. Furthermore, the cover lines I have chosen to use such as ‘Bored of Battered Britain Jamie T leaves these shores for the USA’ imply that the audience will understand what this means, this is because Jamie T is a famous ‘indie’ artist and the audience will more than likely know who he is and understand the story behind the cover line.
Main Task, task 18, Evaluation Question 3
3. What kind of media institution might distribute you media product and why?
IPC Media might distribute my media product because my product differs from the magazine they already produce. They currently produce three different music magazines, NME, Uncut and Guitar & Bass. I think IPC would be an appropriate institution to distribute my product as they do not have a magazine of the same genre that is issued monthly. NME is the same genre of magazine however it is issued weekly. Uncut, is published monthly but is based on movies as well as music, and total guitar is also published monthly but is not of the same genre. My product is to be published monthly and is based on live gigs and performances, there is not another music magazine produce by this company of the same genre.
Main Task, task 18, Evaluation, Question 4

Sarah would be a member of my target audience because the music she listens to and the social group she is part of is reflective of my genre.
