1. Evaluation Question Two- How does your media product represent particular social groups? (Representation)

5. I chose these and the earrings because I felt they reflected the indie style that my model was modelling as an Indie-Pop artist. This could also be seen as a modern representation of women having their own style, rather than following alongside the traditional look. I chose this hairstyle as I felt this represented much more confidence; a very modern representation of young women. The use of the crop top could be seen as a more traditional representation of women being sex objects, as through this top, I tried to create sex appeal; to attract male audiences, as I feel this magazine would be stereotyped to be aimed towards a female audience. The way in which I asked my model to pose, can also reflect a modern and traditional representation of women. Traditional, again, in the sense of sex appeal and modern in the sense, again, of confidence; a strong, successful business woman

6. I chose this outfit for this image, as I felt the use of ‘Builder Boots’ and the ‘Summer Dress’ reflected the indie pop style I also feel it created a modern representation of women, having their own style, and being unique rather than following the traditional look, which is seen as a very traditional representation of women. I feel like my choice of words on this page, also created a representation of it’s own . The choice of ‘Beautiful Mess’ as the album cover creates a positive image that I aimed to be shown through the ‘artist’. Suggesting that ‘flaws’ are good rather than bad. This creates a modern representation of female artists being a positive model to look up to rather than bad influences. I chose the word ‘relationship’ rather than using slang words as I felt that although this may reduce appeal I feel it instead creates a modern representation of young people who are ‘together’ and this being seen as positive and healthy rather than negative and wrong. I feel like the posing of each of my models creates a modern representation of women also. I feel that through me asking them to smile and stand confidently in the images I created a traditional representation of women who still have their ‘innocence’, in contrast to a modern representation of women who can be seen to use their bodies to get what they want in life.

7. I feel the interview on this double page spread reflects a modern representation of women. It reflects women being the ‘breadwinner’, and being independent, successful and having large careers, that they’ve built on their own. This is in contrast, to a traditional representation of women being housewives, that stay home, clean and take care of their families.
