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

Above is an image of both mine and a professional music magazine cover, I will use these to compare how the models represent the rock music genre.

Both models have the same blank facial expression however while my model is looking towards the camera, the model on the 'Kerrang' magazine is looking away. They use a blank facial expression to express the meaning which is supposed to be expressed in their songs.

A mid shot has been used for both of these magazines which shows that both models are holding a guitar. Both models look as if they are confident with what they are doing. This is fairly common is rock music magazines.

In both of the magazines, the models are wearing dark clothing which is typical of rock music magazines as it is the usual trend for rockstars. In the Kerrang! magazine, the model is wearing smart clothing whereas in the Impact magazine the model is wearing a band t-shirt which is more casual however none of these are more typical than the other.

Overall, there are many similar features used on these magazines which the models portray, this is because they are both from the same style so they both use the same trends.
