The media product represents hip hop stereotypes by featuring a Nigerian female model on the cover, following trends in the genre. The images convey messages of power, strength, and independence through the model's confident pose and facial expression. The clean, mellow design and colors of the magazine cover suggest it will appeal more to middle-class readers, as lower-class focused magazines typically use brighter colors and include celebrity gossip.

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

2. Stereotypes
My media product follows a stereotype of hip hop music, I have dine this by using
A model who is Nigerian, this is because most rappers of hip hop artists are of
African decent. I chose to use a female model because lately there has been a
rise of female rappers so by using a female model, I am following the trend of
female artists being featured in magazines that can be seen on real media
products.

3. Gender & Status
Because I have used a female model, some of the messages the images give could
be to do with power, strength and independence, this is backed up by the cover
like ‘at the top of her game’. I feel the images represent this because of the
pose she is in, the has her arms crossed which makes her look ready and strong
whilst her face makes her look sassy and as if she knows she is best which is how
a lot of rappers like to brand themselves and is also how they are branded in the
media and music.

4. Class
I feel my magazine will appeal more to middle classed readers, this is because I
feel the front cover is very clean and not busy on the eye, Also the colours I have
used a quite mellow and easy on the eye where as magazines that are obviously
aimed at the lower classes usually include bright yellow writing because there is
normally celebrity gossip which the magazine uses to sell the product.
