Evaluation - Two




                            How does your media product represent particular social groups?


My media product represents social groups in an unbiased way for instance, it is not specifically targeted at a single gender which is why the magazine features female models and does not portray them in a objectified manner. 

Furthermore, the magazine is aimed at a certain social because unlike other magazines such as a rap or hip hop magazine you would attract people from low class this is because of the issues generally spoken about in the music which relates to those sort of people whereas the genre of jazz may typically only appeal to people from middle and upper-class (These social classes are typically more attracted to classical jazz). My media product is meant to attract young people as well as older people therefore my social group will range from lower class to lower upper class.

As my magazine mainly represents young people they must be represented in a way that makes a clear indication of what my magazine is about rather than just indicate to the audience that the magazine is only targeting young people. 
I have achieved this by using musicians as models for my magazine which provides a immediate indication of the nature of the magazine (being the genre) the reason i used musicians is because in comparison to other magazine genres such as a rap or pop magazine where the models are typically represented in various ways (Musically, sexually, etc...) which does not always create a solid representation of who they are or what the magazine is about 

The costumes of the models very casual and basic this is mainly to highlight the fact the magazine is overcomplicated in the sense that most people can pick it up and read it and still be able to learn and/or create and interest in the magazine. The costumes are not formal in anyway therefore it is relate able to what young people would typically wear
