Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Here is the image that I used for my front cover in comparison to Michael Buble, obviously there are differences but I had to change things in my image to make it look more like a Music magazine whereas Michael Buble is known worldwide and most people would think that the magazine is going to be talking about a music when they see his face. However in this issue of my magazine it is showing young talented people that  arent that famous yet. 

I still do believe that these images do have similarities though, the clothing and angle of the shot. The lighting used for my image lacks the proffessional look so that is one thing that I would improve if I had the chance to, I may try to make it a bit lighter in photoshop for my final product. 

The image compared had a slight inspiration to my front cover but obviously I had to tweak it slightly I also had some other images from my style model (Q). I did show the model some examples of what I wanted him to look like then I asked him to pretend to sing (a feature I added to the image myself). I also researched hair styles of people that the artist found inspirational:
The hairstyle that I decided to use was Frank Sinartra's which was like a comb over also the artists main inspiration was Frank Sinartra so it makes it more suitable to use this one.

The social group that my magazine represents would be people who listen to pop music, do "mainstream" things and our from the ages of 16-30. I have chosen this age range because I dont think under 16's would be interested in a music magazine and I also believe that people over the age of 30 will lose interest in famous pop stars and what is going on in the music industry but that doesnt mean that there wont be people out of the age range chosen not buying this product.
