How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My media product represents particular social groups by the images, colour, font and language, which have been used within the product. This magazine mainly represents individuals who are interested in rock music, who fit in the stereotypical image. It does this by the colours, which have been chosen, such as; black, white, grey and orange, as these colours are the typical colours that we associate with the stereotypical rock listener. This is mainly down to the fact that stereotypically these are the coloured clothes they seem to wear (such as black baggy trousers, with a chain belt finished with a black and red skull t-shirt). A main indication of representation of this social group I have used is the model, which I have decided to use. The model, which I have selected, is a young female, with dark features (i.e. hair, eyes & eyebrows) and pale skin, wearing conventional expression across her face (Grr! Expression. Whilst she is biting her bottom lip, showing aggressive side in a calm manor). As well as the clothes she is wearing are stereotypical of people who support this genre. Another aspects I have used to represent this social group is by the type of language I have selected, which is simple and brief, as we don’t associate this group with using big or complex words, as whilst they are reading this we want them to be enjoying themselves, instead of feeling like they are reading something boring. Lastly I decided to chose a typography which is slightly worn away and rugged, this is because believe it portrays their rebellious behavior.
