Scott Baskin

A headshot of a friendly-looking man with light skin, brown eyes, dark spiky hair, and a full dark beard, smiling broadly at the viewer. He is wearing a casual grey collared shirt, and the background is a clean white.

Scott Baskin is a 24-year-old Ryerson University Professional Communications graduate from Montreal, Quebec. His interests lie in arts & pop culture, especially music, TV, film, and comic books. Scott hopes to build a career in the entertainment industry where he can explore his passions for social media and writing. When Scott isn't reading comic books, he can be found playing guitar or singing his heart out at a local karaoke night.

Research

I have researched how fans of comic books and movies based on these comics feel about the representation of women and minorities in these media forms. I have conducted a survey as well as interviewed fans of the comics and movies to learn how they feel.

A black-background magazine cover with a 'Professional Communication Ryerson University' logo and '1 Apr 12c' date in the top left, and an 'APPROVED BY THE COMICS CODE AUTHORITY' stamp in the top right. The main title 'REPRESENTATION IN COMIC BOOKS' is in large, red, slanted letters. It features full-body illustrations of Wonder Woman in her classic attire on the left and Luke Cage in a yellow shirt and blue pants on the right. A blue starburst shape in the center contains yellow text: 'IN THIS ISSUE: WHY FANS AREN'T HAPPY WITH MINORITY REPRESENTATION.' A white bar at the bottom has black text: 'Plus: Are there enough women and minority creators behind the scenes? The answer is no!'
