Evaluation question 2

2:How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group that is in my magazine are rock stars. My magazine represents the rock stars in a positive manner.

In the DPS, the star that is being interviewed is nice to the interviewer. He thanks him ("I'm fine thanks"), he answers his questions without hesitation. showing that the magazine doesn't portray  stars as being selfish, snobby or unlike able.

On the photos the stars are smiling which shows that they are happy. The only photo I included in my magazine which didn't have the person smiling was the front cover, though that was because I wanted a photo where the model pulls a weird face which is often done on rock magazines. See example below.













People look up to rock stars because they can relate to them. The front cover of my magazine has the model sticking his fingers in his ears whilst there are cover lines all over the place. This was meant to reflect what a older  teenager would be going through. Today's teenagers, including myself, go through a lot of pressure with getting the job done, where we have people telling us what to do that it gets overwhelming. The rock star puts his fingers in his ears to block out the noise. aside from reflecting the title of the magazine, its also a way to help the reader escape from that pressure.

The reason I included a competion in my magazine wasn't just because magazines sometimes include them, it was also to allow readers who don't have a way to listen to music.
