Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I do think my magazine does represent a particular social group. This is because it features a lot of mainstream bands that you would expect to be featured in this type of magazine. I aimed to reach Pop-Punk fans I do believe I’ve achieved this but that doesn’t mean would only be read by them fans.

My masthead is all abstract and is bright red. This encodes the magazine is trying to reach out to that audience. The masthead looks like it’s had some wear and it looks like a logo you would expect a clothing line from that specific stereotypical readers would wear.

The main cover shot image I used on my front cover looks like a typical stereotypical Pop-Punk group because of the camera medium close up and the way they are positioned in the photo. This is lead to draw in not only Girls but also Guys as well because of the Male and Female members of the band.

Representations can be read in a number of different ways and its not just how they are portrayed to the reader its also how they are shown in the forms of text is used.
