Evaluation Q. 2

Q. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

A. I tried to have males and females featured in my magazine that all had a variety of looks about them that your average person could associate themselves with. For instance, Charlotte Weaver (contents) was wearing Jack Wills which is considered a preppy brand name whereas Natalie Forsyth (contents) had more of a focus on her bleached blonde hair and teeshirt which was a more relaxed style for the more everyday person, but was still edgy (not everyone is comfortable with bleach blonde hair). The boy band I included (contents) had a mixture of dress style as well. Charlie was wearing trackies but there was a very expensive leather jacket as well so they were dressed from both sides of the spectrum. Some magazines (especially fashion ones) tend to only show expensive designer items that not everyone can afford or is interested in but I tried to show a variety of people from a variety of 'cliques' at school to help break up the social block.
