The media product reflects university students. The magazine represents students in a sophisticated yet laidback manner, challenging stereotypes of students as carefree partiers. It uses medium closeups of students edited for interest. The front cover features a central image of a student to avoid clutter and maintain an educational but casual tone. Interior photos equally balance text to reflect the magazine's sections. Students are portrayed to appeal to the target student audience through an informal but informative style.

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

2. In my magazine, the social group I have reflected are students; college or
university. I have represented the students in a sophisticated, laidback manner,
challenging the stereotypical opinion that students are ‘care-free party animals’. I
took my images of students as medium close ups, editing them to make them
more interesting. The front cover of my magazine includes one central image of a
student, as I felt that too many images may clutter up the layout, steering away
from the educational but laidback aspect. The text to picture ratio of the contents
is more or less equal; three pictures reflecting the three sections. The way in which
the students are represented in my magazine appeal to the target audience as the
magazine is informal, laidback, but also includes informative elements.
