Research And Planning: An Artists Appearance

In this blog I'm going to be researching and analysing different artists outfits. By doing this and having a clearer insight this will help when I'm doing my photography for my own music magazine.

PARAMORE

In a lot of the images I've seen of Paramore, all members have worn dark colours; greys, blacks, reds and occasionally some white. After saying this Hayley, who is the lead singer of the band still stands out. In the above picture they have done this by the guys wearing black and grey but having Hayley wearing something a little brighter. As a result of this, as soon as fans see Hayley on a magazine or in a advertisement, they will know that it has something to do with Paramore. Purposely having a way of making the audience remember the band is the best way to get noticed.

GOOD CHARLOTTE

Good Charlotte also wear mainly black when they have pictures taken of them. In the above image there is a bit of contrast. For example; although they are wearing dark colours and they look like a rock band, they also have a smart approach to them by wearing ties and tank tops which will appeal to a wider range of people. This contrast of appearance makes them look more interesting and will draw members of the public in. 

NICKELBACK

In the above picture Nickelback have a strict colour scheme for their clothing. They are all wearing black which, according to my questionnaire, is the most expected colour to be associated with rock music. It makes them look darker and more mysterious. The dark tattoo on the guys arm also makes them seem like the opposite kind of artist to someone you would see in a pop magazine. 

LINKIN PARK

 

This is a picture of Linkin Park. Straight away you can see that they aren't part of a country or pop group because of the darkness and seriousness of the image. Their clothes are a range between blacks, greys, whites and a hint of light blue, almost as if the bright blue sky is reflecting onto their clothing. As a result of this, it makes them look serious but approachable.

GREEN DAY 

 This picture is from the band Green Day. In comparison with Good Charlotte, although they are wearing all black and white which gives them a dark rock look, they are also wearing a suit and ties which make them look more appealing and more formal, resulting in people having more respect for them and a wider range of people becoming interested in them.
