The front cover features a male model in designer clothes to portray wealth and dominance, aligned with conventions of hip hop magazines. The full-frame shot reinforces the model's power through eye contact. The title "FRESH" and graffiti font also represent hip hop conventions. A faded car in the background symbolizes wealth. The contents page similarly presents a female model in designer clothes to look equally dominant rather than sexually available. Both images portray emerging views of gender equality.

Question 2
Front Cover The front cover of my magazine features dominant representation as you would except to see a male model on the front cover posing and dressed in that specific way as in all real media products such as Vibe and XXL magazine they mainly feature a male model on the front cover. They present the male to have a hard exterior which is what I have tried to portray. The designer clothes (Ed Hardy hoodie and Evisu jeans) I got my model to wear portrays the aspirer psychographic which relates to my targeted audience. The full shot image on my front cover with the model looking directly into the camera reinforces dominant ideology as men are seen to be controlling and powerful which is portrayed through the connection of the models eye contact with the camera.
Front cover The title of my magazine ‘FRESH’ is a word used in the hip hop genre to mean new, cool and current this would be identified by certain social groups like ‘chavs’ and ‘gangsters’ as this particular word would be apart of there vocabulary. Also the font used for the masthead is in a graffiti style which is a convention of the hip hop genre which again portrays dominant representation. The car behind my model represents dominance as in the hip hop genre one of the conventions is wealth and ‘whips’ aka cars. Here the car which is I decided to go with the colour dark blue slightly faded behind the model represents this for the background of my front cover as it ideology as in the hip hop genre the norm is to connotes confidence which again have a fancy car. reinforces dominant ideology.
Contents Page For my contents page I have represented women to be just as dominant as men, again taking a full shot image, instead of representing them in a light where they are seen to be sexually available. This portrays emergent ideology as in contemporary society women are becoming less stereotyped as being seen as an ‘object’ and more equal to men. Again like my model on the front cover, I got my female model to wear designer clothing ( Roca wear hoodie which is the hip hop artists Jay Z’s brand and converse trainers). This portrays the aspirer psychographic which relates to my targeted audience. It also portrays dominant ideology as a sign of wealth in the hip hop genre is wearing designer clothes. The use of a wide shot image displays dominant representation as the graffiti in the image would be expected in the hip hop genre as it one of the conventions.
