Representations.

This magazine represents a youth culture where rebellion is an aspect of the subculture. I have shown this through the seemingly random colour scheme, it is rebelling from other magazine types that have an obvious set colour scheme, the way the covergirl is staring into the camera lens with a challenging expression that is full of teenage attitude, the random layout and shapes of the contents on the contents page and the out of place, brightly coloured shape on the right hand side of the page. These all connote rebelling as they rebel from the normal things you would see in a published music magazine.
My magazine has positive images of Scene Kids, as the colour scheme and random layout show that they are bright and fun, and love life and being spontaneous. The photographs are generally displaying Louise laughing and doing something fun or posing in a jokey-tone. The images represent youth as assertive and confident, such as the way attitude is displayed through the cover image, with the way Louise is looking the reader directly in the eye and challenging them. It is as if she is saying don’t try and mess with me, which says that Scene Kids can sometimes be intimidating.
I would also not hesitate to include articles on things such as drugs and the dangers they can have to life, as it is well known that Scene Kids are one of the larger drug consumers with drugs such as Ecstasy, speed and Cannabis, as it fits in with the happy-hardcore, rave lifestyle. I do not think that this is reinforcing the stereotypical idea of Scene Kids, but would be giving them the proper information and showing the reality of the Scene Kid lifestyle.
