The document discusses how a rap magazine represents social groups through its use of a female model on the cover, which breaks conventions of the genre that typically features male rappers. It aims its content at 16-20 year old males who enjoy hanging out with friends, buying clothes and alcohol more than food, and likely live with parents while working part-time or full-time jobs. The magazine's simplistic and less provocative design distinguishes it from other rap magazines that connote sexuality and provocativeness.

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

2. • My music genre had a dominant representation of rule
breaking and bragging inn the form of rap music. I have given
a more reserved representation of this by using a female
model. This breaks the original conventions of the gender
that fronts rap.

MODELS
