1. Evaluation How does your media product represent particular social groups?

2. PROPS R&B music is usually associated with young urban social group. My model is of a similar age to my target audiences, he is 17 years old. Furthermore, my model is wearing props that represent the social group that I am targeting. The props used are chains, era hats and blingy belts, also long shirt and baggy jeans.

3. Moreover, I made sure I used a lot of different methods to ensure that my music magazine represents the right social group. My main image is of a male with a slight attitude that goes with the R&B convention. I made sure my models costume represented the young social group. Also for my main article, I used formal language for the questions, but used informal language for the answers. This is mainly because they are written by a young urban male and from his perspective. Furthermore by using informal language my targeted audiences may find it easier to relate to the artist and understand him better.

4. My article also expresses the harsh reality the artist had to face, which the audiences can understand and look up to as a role mode. It also expresses the fact that although he is famous now, he hasn’t forgotten his roots and he is just a normal person like the rest of us. This can be shown through his clothes and his props such as era hats.
