To display how I have represented a particular social group, I have compared the character represented within my magazine and a character represented in a mainstream magazine, in the form of singer Rihanna. The individual displayed in the mainstream media magazine, represents the particular social group of the R&B/pop/dance music genre, my magazine is a sub genre magazine so there are many different genres throughout the magazine. This social group and artist, has become increasingly popular in the last few years, therefore I feel it will appeal to my audience and will be best fitted to portray this social group in my character.
In these two characters they have similar body language. Both of the characters postures are also very similar, they are both looking over their left shoulder. However the image from the mainstream media magazine is more close up than my image.Both have a central eye line match which is very eye-catching for the audience. The hair and makeup is also very similar. Both featuring a darker eye makeup with pink/red lips. Their hairstyles are curled and tousled with it covering the right side of their faces.
Both images also look like they have been taken in a professional photography studio with a plain white background this makes the images stand out more and allows the dramatic imagery stand out more.
The artist featured in the mainstream magazine, Rihanna, is someone who helps to promote the values and beliefs that any girl can become a talented musician like Rihanna in the genre of R&B. I also want to promote the belief that you can achieve anything if your try hard enough, like Rihanna who started off her music career straight after high school. However she is sometimes criticised in the media about being too provocative. I would like to portray my character as a good role model to girls and that they don't have to be provocative to be successful in their careers.
