Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I think my magazine represents similar social groups as vibe magazine and XXL magazine because they have similar content. For example the picture on my front cover and the picture on vibe magazine front cover are fairly similar.

 

The shots in my magazine are also quite similar to vibe magazine which also helps my product to represent the same social group as vibe magazine.

On my front cover my model is cracking a slight smile and so is drake on vibe magazine. Although this is a difference between the two I still think that they are similar.

I also think that my product represents a particular social group through my costume because I ensured to make my model wear dark colours so it reflects the same social groups as other R&B magazines.

I also wanted my models hair tied back so that my image on the front cover had the same effect as the images on other front covers that I researched.

The expression on both of the models face are quite similar, however I think that my image is a bit more smiley whereas vibe magazines image is more serious although there is a slight smile. I think that the expression shows a particular social group because the magazine clearly shows that it doesn’t represent the same social group as a pop magazine is because in a pop magazine there would be people smiling and maybe a group of people however I have used one person with quite a serious yet fun looking face.

The main way that my media product represents a particular social group is through it looking similar to vibe magazine.
