Draft Evaluation Activity 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My magazine model has been chosen to fit the same theme as Florence and the machine. I liked the idea of the close up of the female artist and the use of the blue to make the reader focus on the key points. That is why I have edited the eyes and made them slightly more blue to attract the attention. I have made the rest of the image black and white to focus the attention even more onto the eyes and allow the blue to stand out from the dark colours. Both of the artists have a pop theme to them although my artist has a rocky theme to it as well. Both are part of a band and both are the front people, the ones that are always in the public eye. I have also used the natural but posed look on my artist as they have that sort of relaxed and inviting look to them, although Florence looks slightly seductive and my artist looks more smiley and happy in comparison, but otherwise a similar look. I have also taken the idea of the eyes looking straight down the camera as it also captures the attention of the reader as it almost feels like you are being watched. I have also tried to keep the shot as simple as possible to make them appear more effective.
