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

The genre is grime/UK rap. The audience which I specifically targeted is young teenagers in their college years, roughly from aged 16-21. We give positive representation of this social group because everyone we have mentioned in the magazine is doing something beneficial.

I have chosen this photo from RWD's magazine showing the image of Skepta to compare to my front cover photo of Kye and explain how my magazine represents a particular social group.

As you can see from the photos, both of the artist's stand in a particular way to show the audience that they mean business. The photo of Kye shows him pointing towards the camera shot and this shows that he wants the readers and audience to get involved in the magazine, the photo of Skepta shows him staring into the camera lens and this suggest that he wants the audience to try and read his mind and what he is thinking. Both facial expression on the artist's are similar, as in they have the rebellious look which shows the audience the power which they have in the music industry. For costume appearance both of the men almost match, Kye wears a white cardigan with a dark coloured shirt underneath whereas Skepta wears a dark coloured body warmer with a white t-shirt underneath. Both artist has branded hats on showing their type of fashion sense within the grime industry. Both backgrounds look almost identical as it shows a dark blue wall with a glow showing that the spotlight is on them although in Skepta's front cover it shows more of a red mist indicating that there are lights focused on him front and back.
