Representation

2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The photos I used range from being black and white which is on the front page, this photo has a rough greyscale look which helps tie in with the colour scheme of the magazine, in the image he looks content, but it shows that he means business with what he is doing, he is looking directly at the camera which shows his direct look. His gesture is a very serious look but not too serious which means he’s keeping it serious, the hat which is a fashion in today’s clothing, which would indicate a “hipster” youth, also his clothes are or an urban looking style to keep it in set with the city feel. The image makes it appear urban by the rustic look, with the greyscale setting. There is some slang used but not a lot which keeps it a serious but yet laid back magazine, in the article it is set to be like a conversation between two people, so it’s kept in a chatty casual way. The attitude implications of this magazine would be a party type and people who just like generally having fun, as the type of music is very centred around that style of partying. There is the stereotype of that youths today are all party and fun, which my magazine does show or indicate. The gender would be male dominated but its not to say females wouldn’t read it or wouldn’t be interested in the magazine, neither is there any particular racial group it is aimed for, it’s just aimed for anyone who enjoys the type of music and having a good time partying.
