A (reduced) explanation of representation

Representation refers to aspects of ‘reality’, including; people, places, objects, events, cultural identities and other concepts. It can also often be expressed through the use of speech and writing.
However, it is not just about the conception of who/what a person is, but also the way in which others judge them as a consequence of these demographic factors.

 Representation within the media is used to enhance the overall appearance of a product to an audience; despite not having to strictly depict ‘real life’.

Media forms are a representation of someone's concept of existence; signs and symbols which can be read by an audience.
