Evaluation Question 2

How do your media products represent particular social groups?

Representation: how groups, individuals, institutions, or social changes are portrayed through the media. 

Looking at my media products of a front cover, contents, and double page spread, a positive representation of the younger generation can be seen through the one featured artist. This is particularly apparent in my double page spread where she is laughing/smiling with a happy expression.  















Starting with my front cover image (above) that shows my model with a strong, engaging expression, you can see the artist has been presented to be confident and possibly well established, possibly challenging stereotypes of young adults to not be so successful in terms of a musical career at this age. As for my contents page (right), my model wearing simple and dark clothing of boots, a jumper and leather jacket have presented this female in a classy and therefore positive light. 


Finally, looking at my double page spread you can see that I have chosen to represent my model/artist in a more fun and exciting way. Her cheerful and happy expression in both photographs reflect her playful side that will appeal to my target audience, whilst her maintained clothing style of the leather jacket throughout my media products keeps a house style and highlights her rock-chick side. For the secondary image to the right, a more casual image has been used next to her signature style font in order to portray or represent her fun side that will become relateable to my readers.
