The representation is a great way for the decoder to figure out what kind of media product that is being sold. Using signs such as text, colours, pictures and editing is a efficient way to create the media product you want. In my magazine I have been keen to use signifiers to ensure the audience of my magazine is made clear.
The audience for my media product would be young males who like a lifestyle of ladies and other lavish things. The magazine is aimed at both their music tastes and their sexual desires. The target audience would like artists such as Rihanna or Kay Perry who are well known for sexualising their music and making it about the performance as well as the music. Many men are partially inclined to listen to their music and watch their videos because of the way they look. My magazine features an “artist” like this, who is sexualised.
The stories also help signify the target audience as well as the pictures. They are stories which are more likely to appeal to my imaginary entity than someone who enjoys classical music. Stories such as “Hannah Stevens: Being a Sex Symbol” who is portrayed as an artist who is also highly sexualised.
The audience of my media product is aimed at younger men who would like to read about music with a sexual twist, look at pictures of attractive women and read articles about ‘influential’ men.
