2) Evaluation- How does your Media product represent particular social groups?

Front Cover-
The clothing that is used on the front cover is smart as the cloths worn by the model is a blazer, this would be more targeted to the more sophisticated social group; that would be a higher class and more willing to spend more on a magazine. The social media (Facebook, Twitter) that is being advertised helps the magazine to target a younger audience that would help to expand the success of the magazine as more and more people can share and view. The confidence that the model shows helps to expand the magazines audience to the female audience and creates Female attraction to the magazine, this was done by the facial expression that the model was doing and the editing done to emphasise the  model. This helps to show that the attraction that the front cover has due to the model, helps the magazine grow and the audience also. The Model uses Dyer "A star is an image", as the model is represented as a self-centred and confident, which will help to attract view points on the model and help to increase the popularity of the magazine.
 

Contents- The Male and Female models used on this page help to create the male and female attraction, again helping the magazine attract all sexes. The use of the female and the pose she is doing creates a provocative look to the magazine, this gives the magazine a more mature feel and widens the magazine. The models that are used on the contents page are young, this gives the magazine again a youthful feel, as the photos help to represent that young people respect this magazine and the contents of it.  The language used on the contents page also helps the magazine be aimed at a more youthful audience as it uses informal words 'buzzing', 'damn'.


Dps- The Dark, Smart and Dangerous look that the model creates, helps to interact with all types of ages and sexes, the model is young, which helps represent the young audience. The images used are of a male which creates the female gaze to the model, the model also looks mysterious leading to the audience wanting to read the article not just look at the photos. Perkins "stereotypes are not simple" is used here as the model isn't the typical young male, as the clothing and expression isn't usual, as the males are seen to be 'serious' and 'macho', not passionate or full of mystery.
