How does your media product represent particular social groups?

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My feature article artist fits into the social group female teenagers. This is a similar social group to my target audience which is teenagers that are both male and female.

The image of my feature artist shows her outside wearing stereotypical clothes that you would see a teenager wear. It also shows her with very little make up on which is not typical of many teenage girls but it goes against that you aren't pretty without make-up, and this helps teenagers to feel more comfortable by looking at my feature artist. The picture that I used has my artist with her hands holding her coat. This suggests that she is shy as she is hinging away. This fits within the teenage social group as there are lots of teenagers who are shy and like to be hidden. Her facial expression is very natural and relaxed. This gives a natural and relaxed representation instead of stereotypical teenage poses that are seen on other magazines. All of these factors help my artist to fit into the female teenagers social group, even though some of my artists traits aren't stereo typical of female teenagers.
My Artist also represents the social group of teenagers who try to get what they want and put their full effort into achieveing what they want. This is shown thought the information about Lola Matthews in the feature article and how she was involved in lots of musical events to get her name out their and slowly reach fame even though she started at the bottom.

The representation of my artist In my music magazine is different to the representation of teenagers on other music magazines.

On the magazine shown here, Taylor Swift has been made up for the camera. She has her hair and make-up done and is wearing nice clothes. This isn't a strong representation of teenagers as although they do wear make-up and do their hair, they don’t have it done to this standard and this represents teenagers as not being pretty and needing make up to be beautiful.
