How places may be represented in different forms: advertising, tourist agency material, art, film, photography, story, cartography, census data
Different media — from tourist brochures to census data — each portray a place in a selective way. Every representation highlights some features and hides others.
Real World
VisitScotland's promotional photography focuses on highland glens and castles, while census data for the same region records high rates of fuel poverty and population decline — two representations of Scotland that serve entirely different purposes.
Exam Focus
For each representation you discuss, state who produced it, who the intended audience is, and what is systematically omitted.
