Evaluation: Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?


I have chosen to compare the image of the artist on my double page spread with the image of on artist from Greenday.

  • Both of the modes on the images are using a similar stern expression which portrays their dark rock genre.
  • Both of the images are a style of an eye level close up. Mine being a medium close up and the second being a close up. Both capturing intense focus on the artists.
  • Both artists have similar hair which is of a rock style - being long and messy.
  • Make - up: Both artists are wearing eyeliner. The association of males wearing eyeliner is with those associated with the rock genre.
  • Clothing: Both are wearing simple black clothing.
  • Another feature of rock which shows through the model for my magazine is the showing of his tattoos - Also relating to the masthead of the magazine 'Scarred'.
  • The lighting on both images is very light, this is a good contrast with the darkness of the artists.
  • The model on my cover is showing an expression which portrays attitude - with no smile. This gives a bold perpresentation of my magazine.
  • This attitude is also a representation of age which helps to address and get the attention of my target audience.
