Assessment Improvement

The main image shows a low angle shot of Sterling standing in a confident stance, with a large pair of black wings. He looks serious and directly addresses the audience. 

Tuesday 17th December 2024

Gender

the choice to represent Steerling topless with his tattoos reinforces the stereotype of men as having to be hyper masculine, strong and muscular.

the black wings represent him as a supernatural figure suggesting his extraordinary skills on the pitch.

Ethnic

using a hugely successful black cover star (Raheem Steerling is british jamaican) as there dominant image, GQ is presenting a role model for its readers, someone to aspire to be like.
