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

The social group I am aiming to intrest would be the young female fans of R&B who appreciate fashion. Maybe not the 'typical' teenage girl but the stereotypical young girl. Blair sponsors a high street chiffon jumpsuit, accompanied with colourful beads around her neck and a loose, messy up-do with a simple pallet of make-up; this supports the idea she is fashion fanati, however she is facing to the right - eyes avoiding the camera with a hand on her hip, maybe this represent the attitude that comes with fashion - not that they are 'up themselves' but that they do have a visible attitude.     
     The colour scheme includes pink and black is also very feminine which represents women in general where pink is recognise as the 'girls colour', like a boys is blue. EUPHORIA's text is in both lower case and capital letters, with a range of fancy text types; possibly suggesting that those who belong to this social group do care what other see as it has to appear attractive.
     The other artists mentioned on the front cover are also highly recognised women such as Rihanna, Beyoncé and Alicia.K they are also very feminie women, who many idolise. They support Blair's image on the cover; the image of fashion, make-up and attitude that represent's the typical women who would be 'into' R&B music.
   I believe it's safe to say that EUPHORIA represents the 'girly' girl social group of an age range from 15 to 25 who are into high street fashion and R&B music.
I believe my double page spread supports the representation of the social group that my front cover achieved. Blair portrays a positive image of the girls around her age who are into the same things as her; she talks about all the stereotypical things that 'girly' girl social groups of that age do... boys, fashion, food, best friends and texting but with just the right attitude.
