2. How does your media product represent particular social groups? 

 

For my front cover it changed a lot through the making of it as my first final cover was completely different to this, the image was different and the colours and mise en scene was nothing like this. After feedback though, I realised there was too much blank space and when I tried to fill it up it ruined the whole layout. I really liked the image for this front cover but as it didn’t work as a front cover image I eventually decided to use it a poster that would feature on my contents page. After feedback of my new front cover I was told to add division lines to give it more structure, make some of the text a bit bigger because it was difficult to read and I also move the website link, issue/date line and price near to the barcode so that the masthead individually stands out. I made all of these changes and I then moved onto my contents page where I used the same style of image as the front cover to link them together. The text used was the same as the front cover too showing continuity and the image from my old front cover was added in the bottom corner. After feedback I found out that people liked the work I had done but to improve it I could make it clearer to what story my main image belonged to and also I could add some more features in the subheadings. I listened to all my feedback and added a page number to my main image which linked to one of the subheadings and also included a pug with buzzwords as well as social media logos for the digital natives to make my page more conventional and to also add more contents which was mentioned on one of my feedback comments. Then I created my double page spread, again continuing with the same house style and images to link it all together. I was told in feedback after my first draft that I could try to make the pages more conventional so I added information about the photographer of the images and also changed the colour of the structural line to make it match with the colour of the images. If I was to create my pages again I would try to make them more conventional and also for my double page spread I would use a image with a white background so I can spread it across the two pages and connect them through the image instead of through the use of colour.
