On the front cover of in style the magazine, we realized the target audience was predominantly white women with an upper class status and this was targeted by having mostly white models in the magazines and the ethnic minority wasn’t shown as much. I believe that this doesn’t represent ethnic minorities badly in this case by using the majority of white models as it’s relatable to the target audience and they’re upper class nature.
One way that magazines may portray an unfair nature is due to the fact that most magazines made aren’t made for ethnic minority which means they’re are fewer seen in magazines as they don’t have magazines designated for themselves.
The type of research used was in style magazine as that’s where we got our information from in a primary fashion. We found that target audience related to the races of people used in the magazines and this affected the amount of other races that were seen and appeared in the magazine. In this case of in style magazine we have proved that this magazine isn’t racist it just doesn’t appeal to a wide range of audience in the eyes of Rashid and I. we would have more accurate results if we used more of a range of magazines which would have been a big improvement in regards to research.
The good thing about the research technique we used was that it was primary, which made us able to make our own judgments and not be swayed by any other comments made about the research subject.
The not so good thing about the research technique is that it wasn’t broad enough die to the fact that we had only one magazine to gain the research from.
