I think I have represented my social group of male and female, Indie Folk lovers, in a positive way. I think the images and style of my magazine, represents these men and women as quite cool and alternative. For example, the front cover image, has several effects and adjustments in place, like a light chemical burn and decreased saturation, to make it look similar to an album front cover, something that would not look out of place in a music store, which is a primary place for my TA and social group to spend time.


However, in my text there is an unintentional signifier in that I think the magazine represents this social group as being quite effeminate. I believe I have unintentionally let my own preferences influence the style of my magazine slightly, therefore making it appeal more to women and disrupting my preferred reading slightly. I wanted the magazine to appeal equally to men and women, but looking at it I can see that it may not be something a male would be very interested in upon first look. I still think that it would be a popular magazine with this social group however, because I have still included what both genders preferred in the questionnaire I distributed before starting my magazine.
