Evaluation Representation

In my magazine I have represented teenage music fans as laid-back, demonstrated in my chosen photo’s used throughout the magazine and used in the article wherein the interview is written in a mostly casual style. The musicians in the article are represented in a similar way influencing they way the readers - teenage music fans are represented. The magazine is not designed in a way that seems like it is speaking down to teenagers.
Due to the vague demographic of the magazine it primarily focuses on the music and leaves out most mentions of other products though my research focused on fashionable teenage interests, mostly of things not generally associated with a specific gender. 
The magazine almost exclusively focuses on music and is not aimed at either gender in particular or any other demographic more particular than teenagers meaning that it avoids confronting or reinforcing stereotypes in general while still being focused on a specific age, I also included a variety of music to avoid the stereotypes that music fans are averse to other forms of music than their preference.
The main difference is that they are shown more dynamically in real publications, and highlighted by the background of the media. The first example shows the cover person in a sad, mysterious way. The second portrays the two older people as angrier, both differ heavily from the laid back portrayal in my magazine
