Evaluation - Question 3

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I believe my product represents particular social groups by use of fonts, colour schemes and language usage.
The fonts used reflect the genre of music I am writing about, for the responses in the Q&A section I used red text, a colour often associated with the gothic/emo culture I am writing for.
The colour scheme is very minimalistic, I chose to primarily use black, white and red; in doing this i was able to use contrasting colours whilst at the same time keeping a constant colour scheme. The subject in my magazine, when asked, said he believed the clothes he wore for the shoot would be worn by people who considered themselves gothic/emo, the mise en scene hear is also minimalistic, black white and red and so also fits the colour scheme of the entire magazine.
From personal experience, I have a fairly informed idea of the language used by the people my magazine represents. A peer of mine (Lyam Coe) spoke to me about how he and his friends speak in relation to the articles they read; he noted that , whilst he and his friends did not excessively use profanity, the articles he read would often include swearing, given mostly by the interviewee.
