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




My magazine presents young rock music fans in a fairly stereotypical way: obnoxious and antisocial. For example on the front cover I used quite a serious facial expression and a ‘Motorhead’ shirt- a band that are definitely considered antisocial. The language used could also be considered fairly rowdy. For example phrases such as- ‘kick ass’ and ‘sucks’. The text:pictures ratio is around 1:1; this is also fairly stereotypical, as conventionally rock fans would not want to do to much reading. I tried to represent rock fans in this way as it would appeal to traditional rock fans and they would be able to relate to it and would be likely to buy the magazine.
