Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups ?
my music magazine primarily focuses on the electro music genre . so of course my magazine will primarily display and represent electro music artists . however , i have chosen to go against the typical representation of an electro artist. this is shown in the way my model (Sam) dresses. as typical electro artists dress in fairly casual attire like hoodies and t shirts , i chose to have Sam wear far more formal clothing such as a suit jacket. this immediately brings the connotation of being more wealthy and higher class  . this will also represent aspirers as it shows a young man who has aspired to and found great success. this all represents the overall electro fan/artist social group in a very positive way that will appeal to my audience. the overall formal representation is also shown in his hair as it is very neat and slick . which is usually associated with the 40s/50s or the upper class. again linking in with the formal representation . the age range , 17-25 year olds , is again presented in a very positive way as they are represented as having high aspirations and being successful .the representation of them being rude/anti social is gone against too as Sam is looking directly into the camera with a very calm expression . directly addressing the audience in a pleasant manor . the text in my double page spread again conforms to the representation of electro fans being aspirers . this is shown in the way Sam says " i cant stress how happy i am to be where i am " which shows the gratefulness and humbleness of the electro social group.my audience are represented as being quite young and well versed in technology . so i have included icons and links to the 3 most popular social media platforms: twitter , Facebook and Instagram.
