The document compares two magazine covers that depict similar poses but with some differences. Both use a long shot of models crouched down with their arms leaning over, intended to convey "swag" and a "dope look" for a hip-hop feel. However, the lighting is different, with one being darker to portray a "grimy" side of hip-hop while the other uses a lighter tone. Additionally, one image uses a black and white effect while the other shows true colors. The document argues that its cover model represents hip-hop through her dark clothing, linking to hip-hop's image as "grimy", as well as her emotionless facial expression and confident body language depicting attitude.

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

3. Similarities
• The similar area’s to these two images, by how they
are creating a similar pose, with their arms lent over
and they are crouched down. This pose is also
similar because I think they are trying to create the
same effect, by showing swag and a dope look,
which creates a hip-hop feel to the magazine.
• It is also similar as they are using the same shot
type, by using a long shot, crouched down.

4. Differences
However even though the images are simular by
pose there are many differences that you can
pick out. Such as the lighting is completely
different, mine is shown as very dark showing
the more ‘grimy’ side of hip-hop and XXL
magazine is showing a lighter side. Also the XXL
model has a black and white effect over them
and mine shows the true colors on them.

5. My model on my magazine
represents my genre of a hip hop
magazine because :
*She is stressed in appropriate
clothing linking to the genre of hip
hop. Dark clothes are linked with
this because hip hop is seen as a
very grimy style, showing the swag
and the attitude through the
clothing.
*Her facial expression’s also show
the representation of hip hop, with
the emotionless expression.
Showing attitude. Also her body
language show’s this by her
confidence and attitude.
