How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My music magazine represents a particular social group or stereo type because of it's design. It is all based around rap music, style and culture therefore evidently represents, or is aimed at that type of stereostype. Obviously a young girl wouldn't pick up this magazine and think to read it, because it's not covered in pink flowers and taylor swift. There are different photographs throughout the magazine sections where the posture of models change as does their expression which changes the mood. Sometimes the models look friendly other times mildly agressive. I have aimed for the more agressive type of magazine because it filters in better with my target audiance. This magazine is not really a mainstream style it's more hoody and rap throughout with related gossip, photo's and stories to relate. It represents the stereotype i'm aiming at as perhaps slightly agressive people, however reading the interviews and seeing the photo's inside suggest otherwise.

This post and your flickr analysis are a good start but you now have to explore further how you have represented your particular social group (teenage male rap fans, I assume). Can you say any more about what attitudes/interests etc you have attributed to them? Is your representation typical of the way they are represented in the media or have you challenged any assumptions?
