Q2. Evaluation

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My magazine represents particular social groups by the clothes that are worn on the front cover, the jacket that is worn by the artist represents the clothing style of a typical reader of the magazine, the make of the jacket is Superdry which would be a brand that the reader would be likely to wear. The reader can then relate to the artist which draws them into the magazine, and makes them want to read it. After looking on UK tribes I could see that this is the kind of clothing that the audience of my magazine would wear. The reader can then relate to the magazine which would catch their attention. From the article in the magazine the reader can relate to the artists answers as the audience of the magazine would have similar responses to the artist, this is because they have similar interests. The particular social group will be like the artist as they will both be interested in the same things.

As you can see from the two images above there is a picture of my artist on the left and Chris Brown on the right. These two are of similar genres and characteristics making them the same kind of artists. These two are the kind of people that would feature in my magazine as they are both of a similar genre that would match my magazine, meaning that people would enjoy reading about them. They are both also quite stylish characters which is a big part of my magazine, so again it would make them perfect models for my magazine. These two artists are very similar as they would both appear in hip hop and pop songs.
