The document discusses the representation of social groups in the media product's front cover image. It uses a mid-shot photo of the author's friend Jess, comparing her style to artists Lorde and Caroline Flack. While the promoted music style is similar to band The 1975, the cover features a woman rather than all men. Overall, the media product represents women and girls more than men and boys by featuring a unique individual who does not follow social conventions. The alternative music genre was chosen to appeal to a varied audience.

1. Question 2
How does your media product represent
particular social groups?

2. Front Cover Image
For my front cover image I have
used a mid shot of my friend Jess. As
I’ve said before my genre is
alternative music. I would compare
my model to the artist Lorde in the
way that she is dressed. However I
feel that my model has hair in the
similar style of Caroline flack. The
style of music that I am promoting is
in the same style that The 1975 sing
in, however they are all boys
therefore I can’t compare my model
to them.

3. Obviously there are differences in her physical appearance
with the people that I have compared her look to. However
sometimes people look like celebrity's but I don’t think that
Jess looks like anyone as she has got very unique physical
features.

4. Overall
Overall I think that my music magazine doesn’t represent a
certain group of people however represents women/girls,
more than men/boys. I think that it represents someone who
doesn’t follow social conventions and wants to follow there
own path instead of representing a particular group of
people. This is why I chose the genre alternative music as I
feel that is appeals to a wider more varied range of
audience.
