Representation...

When thinking about your magazine, it is essential you consider the idea of representation.  

• REPRESENTATION:
• The way in which reality (people, places, events and issues) are represented to the audience.
• The way in which a music video is presented deliberately portrays the artist/band in a particular way.
• Class, age, gender, sexuality and ethnicity can all be portrayed in different ways, creating stereotypes.
• Racial representation can be placed in different categories to create very different representational issues such as exotic, dangerous, humorous or pitied.
• How could we categorise the representation of class and age in the same way?

Use the following to help you understand how you will present certain groups in your magazine.
