How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media magazine is similar to the music magazine called vibe because both of the magazines are promoting the same type of music for the same type of person that would buy the vibe magazine. Also the things that are in the magazine are similar with the articles and the art inside it. As you can see from my magazine cover the people I've got in the image are all looking at the camera which pulls in the audience because it represents that they are looking at you, so it drags you in and makes you want to see what's on this front cover. With the body positioning it is similar to vibe because there isn't really a lot of unconventional and drastic postures on their cover, its just a neutral standing or sitting stance. The setting of where it image is set is something that links in with the target audience and also towards the music. The grungy, ghetto and hip hop scene. This is what I aimed for with the blue and brick layed background with a small amount of graffiti on the contents page. Where as the vibe magazine is normally done with set colour background with shading behind the person to make them stand out. They also might have the colour for the set background a colour that is represented and seen as the artists theme. I have made the ethnic background a stereotypical theme for my type of magazine because a lot of people on hip hop magazines are black and its unconventional to have and rarely seen to see a white person on the magazine. I have put my magazine in the unconventional status by putting both ethnic backgrounds in my magazine.
