I have chosen to compare this picture of Muse from “NME” with the front cover photo from my magazine to explain how my magazine represents a particular social group:
The postures of both men are similar in the sense that their facial expressions are both serious and staring straight at the camera, with Muse looking more serious than mine. In addition to this, both men are wearing similar costumes – a black leather jacket with the collar lifted up with a plain T-shirt underneath, emphasizing their 'coolness' and confidence. Also they have similar hairstyles and shades, both with a brown shade and shortly trimmed with some facial hair shown .Overall I think that these elements of the photos represent a normal young social group and that my magazine reflects this throughout. There’s nothing extreme or obscure about their appearances.
I have chosen to compare this second picture of Mumford and Sons with the double page spread photo from my magazine to explain how my magazine represents a particular social group:
These men are very similar in terms of their hairstyles. They both have facial hair of a beard and a moustache with wavy medium long hair which links well to my magazine as it creates this Indie feel as they have a different look to what a normal person looks like. Comparing the two images, in mine the guy is looking straight at the camera giving off an almost shocked appearence in contrast to Mumford and Sons where he seems very lively and happy. My character gives off more of an Individual social group, yet not to obscure or extreme which again I feel connects well with my overall theme of my magazine.
Overall the people featured in my magazine are quite normal looking yet with a slight difference, for example a different hair style or different facial expressions to what a normal appearance seems to look like which fits well in my magazine which is all about Indie music.
