The word Representation means how something is re-presented to people. The real definition is this: The description or portrayal of someone or something in a particular way or as being of a certain nature.
My media product represents certain groups partly through the use of the colours and fonts featured throughout. I have not limited the colour scheme to pinks/purples which would stereotypically represent feminine groups, however I have used both pinks, blues and bright yellow, which are colours that would possibly represent a younger market (because of the vibrancy) of both males and females.
The particular fonts used help to symbolize dance music, and groups of people that go to clubs or listen to this particular type of music, because of the edgy and bold style of the lettering.
Another thing I have used in my magazine to represent different social groups is the artist featured in my magazine.
She is a young female singer who groups of young people would be able to relate to. She fits into the target audience for my magazine, which is the main group of people she helps to represent.
She also helps to represent young people as she is not an artist that is like Lady Gaga for instance, who wears very unusual different outfits, Loreena Steele however is featured wearing clothes you would see a normal 17 year old or so wearing.
