2. How are men and women represented in the
magazine? Are both genders likely to buy the
magazine? (Feedback)
• Dominated by women (for this issue due to the cover star)
• Men and women in magazine, therefore both genders are likely to purchase
• Women are represented to be mature, inspiring and talented whereas men
are dominant and powerful
• Though, the fact the cover star is female may cause more women to
purchase the magazine than men
3. ANALYSIS
• Due to the cover star being a female. Most believed that women would be
more likely to purchase the magazine, however, there are also males in the
magazine. This would mean that the chances of men purchasing the
magazine are not too low. Overall, I believe myself that the cover gives that
magazine a slight hint of feminism due to its positive representation of
women
4. Which ethnicity is dominant in the magazine? Is one
ethnicity dominant over the others? (Feedback)
• Dominated by British Africans and Caribbeans
• Different cultures are represented
• Not much of a variation within the ethnicities used, this may limit audience
• There is no dominant ethnicity due to there being more than one
5. ANALYSIS
• I would like to believe I included a variety of ethnicities to some extent,
though it is definitely dominated by black people of different origin. As
many magazines of this genre tend to be black dominated, I believe all
ethnicities are presented positively.
6. Representation of R’n’B and Grime fans
• The cover star is represented as outgoing, joyful and talented. It is common
to see women represented in degrading ways, however there are role
models out there in the genre such as Beyonce whom personalities like that
of the cover star tend to reflect off. In this case, it can be said that fans of the
genre are fun, considerate people with great ambitions.
