Evaluation 2. How does your media product represent particular social groups

My media product represents the rock indie social group. It represents them in a successful way. When most people are asked to describe a typical rock or indie person they will stereotypically think of men long longish hair and girls typically with dyed hair. These people will traditionally wear black or dark outfits normal contrasted b a splash of colour across the dark clothing. The images i have used throughout my media product follow these conventions with all the models fitting the stereotypical views of a rock / indie person. The colour scheme of the magazine also follows conventions of rock and indie colour themes and vibes. With the electric blue, Black and Grey colour scheme, the black and grey fitting well with the darker rock side and the electric blue bringing out the bright funk like side of rock the colours work well in co-ordination with the magazine genre and the images used in it. The white writing used for text also works well as a bright and eye catching colour against the others as it doesn't blend as simply as they do, meaning that they white draws the audiences attention as well as portraying a mishmash and fun environment through the text, referring to the fact that this social group is represented to be of a mishmash and not following the rules of normal society.

Looking at my magazine it is apparent that There is a particular Racial group is being portrayed throughout my magazine. All the people across my magazine are white, this is not due to a racist reasoning but more on the fact of following conventions. Looking at all the magazine i analyzed there is no other ethnic minorities other than white people. Because of this the trend generally shows rock / indie magazine are full of mostly white artists so here i followed conventions and used white models for my work.
