How does your media product represent particular social groups?
When looking at both of these images, both postures of the women are the same. I have used the image of my cover model Bryony along with the late Amy Winehouse who was very famous for her vintage style. Both are standing and photographed at a direct angle with their outfits on view. Bryony is carrying props (records) but Winehouse is not holding anything, she has her hands by her side. Theyre facial expresions are dfferent, with Bryony conciously posing for the camera and Winehouse looking down towards the ground and smiling. Bryony looks a lot more seious whereas Winehouse looks relaxed and carefree. Both women are Fred Perry polo shirts and pencil skirts with bare legs, the only difference is that Winehouse is wearing a black shirt and a belt as an accessory. Winehouse is showing more cleavage for a more provocative look. Not only are the outfits similar but both women are sporting beehive hairstyles. The difference is that Winehouse's hair is longer and styled a little bit differently, it is also a darker colour that Bryonys. It is clear that both images have been photographed in a studio because of their clear backgrounds and the lighting, the image of Bryony has a darker backdrop than the image of Winehouse, which can be edited. The lighting in the image of Winehouse is a lot brighter than in the image of Bryony, and Bryonys face is not completely visible due to the prop and the slight shadow it creates.
Overall I think that both of these images represent a young social group who like to shy away from mainstream fashion and music. They like to look different and stand out amongst other people in their age group. Because they are so different they are seen as very confident by other people who see them for their individual style and the way they carry it off. Fans and readers will aspire to be like them because of their confidence and their rebellion against mainstream society. People will relate to them because of what they wear and what they are like as people. They aren't wearing really expensive clothing unlike girls in high fashion magazines, for this they will be admired by girl fans. Everyone featured in my magazine look normal but stand out because of their vintage style look and the way they present themselves by either their outfit, hair or make-up.
Readers of my magazine may also listen to Lana Del Rey, this is because of her vintage style just the same as Winehouse. They might also listen to Oasis as they are of the rock and roll genre. They have a retro style just like my model.
