I have chosen to compare this photo of 'Biffy Clyro' with my own photo that I used as my front cover image.
Demographics.
Biffy Clyro are all white males. Aged 29 - 30. Social class is unknown from this picture. They are dressed in smart/casual clothing but at the same time they have the rough/cool look about them. The band are scottish.
Psychographics.
They are going for an individual look. I don't really think they fit into a sub cultural group because of their age.
Demographics.
My own photo is similar in that there are three white males. My models were aged 16-17. Social class is again unknown just from the picture.
They are dressed in casual clothes. This is where my photo differs from the one of Biffy Clyro. My band don't have as much of an image. Their style is hard to figure out because they are dressed so differently. My models are english but the band they are supposed to be in are American. This could explain the slight difference in style as Biffy Clyro are scottish.
Psychographics.
I think this photo would make the band appear aspirers. But the band itself would be individuals because of their unique style of music rather than their image. Sub cultural groups could include possibly 'emo's,' 'punks' or 'goths.' This is because the band would dress in a way which promotes their own music and appeals to the audience they want.
My magazine is neither pro-consumerist or anti-consumerist. I wouldn't say it is pro-consumerist because the aim isn't to get people to buy it's to give people an interest and to give them gossip on their favourite artists. However my magazine isn't anti-consumerist either because in ways it would be encouraging the reader to buy music or to buy instruments or clothing similar to that of their idols.
