Music Magazine Evaluation Question 2

Question 2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My music magazine is targeted at people who are into RnB culture both male and female that are into music and fashion. I represented the RnB or hip hop though the images that I’ve used, the style, and also the words that I’ve used.

I’ve chosen a girl to model for my front cover is because the person is good looking so it will attract male audience to buy the magazine. The model on the front page represents the RnB culture because the clothes that she is wearing a Leopard shirt which suggest to the audience that she is classy and simple like the female artist Jennifer Lopez. I got the model to pose like she is holding her hair because it to show that she is hot because most female artist on the front cover of the magazine touches their faces or hairs which suggest to the audience that they are hot. This is an also a convention because I also got inspired by real existing magazine that had female models on their front cover.

I’ve also chosen the name “Katrina” for the model because it suggest to the audience that she is strong because of the hurricane Katrina which damage America in 2005 and it tells that audience that she might damage America again because she sues the American artist “Drizzy” over copyrights and publishing rights because her voice was used in “Drizzy room” when “Drizzy” did not ask for her permission to use her voice in the track and also “Drizzy” did no give her credit for the song.

I’ve chosen this model to model for my contents page because to show that my music magazine is aim at all genders because I’ve used all genders in my music magazine. Another reason why I chosen him for my music magazine its because of a convention the gold teeth suggest that is a RnB artist because most RnB male artist such like Nelly have gold teeth or grillz so I thought I such use him as a model because it would suggest to the audience that the model is a RnB artist. The expression on the model is happy and how I know he is happy is because the model is smiling, i made the model smile is also to show what type of music the model makes which is happy music and also I’ve made the smile on purpose because to show of his gold teeth. The clothes the model is wearing are a warm coat. This suggests to the audience what type of weather season it is and this is important to the audience it can tell what type of month it is.  

 

For my double page spread as you can see that my model poses looks dominate because she got one of her foot on a amplifier. What this pose really means is that she is dominating music because she sue one of the top successful RnB artist called “Drizzy” and the successful RnB artist is the amplifier because the amplifier relates to music and it’s shows that she is stronger or powerful than him because she got her foot on the amplifier which suggest to the audience that the successful RnB artist has got lower standards than her.  The model expression is happy you can tell by the smile on the face that she is over the moon it’s because she sued the artist “Drizzy” and she got money out of it.  This appeal to the audience because RnB songs are mostly about happy songs and tell suggests that the model creates happy songs as well.
