Evaluation - Representaion


How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group I chose to represent are the ‘nerds’. They enjoy classic video games, which is why I chose pixelated fonts, and the title ‘Chip.Bits’, this is also the influence for including news in the magazine about current happenings in the gaming world. They enjoy specific kinds of music, which is why my magazine revolves around sub-genres of Electro and Techno music.

They pay great attention to detail, and appreciate the little things, which is why the background for the cover, and contents page are the same. This image is also slightly visible over the top of the main image on the featured article. I did this to create uniformity throughout the magazine. Also, the masthead for both the cover and contents is the exact same size and in exactly the same place on the page.

They like memorabilia and computers, hence the inclusion of a free mouse mat themed on the main featured article.
