Inspirational images/ moodboard

 This is an inspirational image as it shows how the background and location can represent the artists genre and his style of music. This is example and he is quite an urban undeground grunge type artist. Also the use of costume makes him standout as he is wearing a bright white t shirt which makes him stand out, giving the image that he stands out from the crowd and his style of music is unique. Also in this image example is looking up to the sky which you could use in a few different situations, you could say he was looking to the future and looking to doing something different and expanding his music range. Also it could be used to show his rapid rise to the top and how he is aiming for the stars as hes looking above suggesting he a cut above the rest. Also the camera angle is slightly lower angle suggesting that Example has contorl and is of more power.


This image of chase and status is quite intersting as it shows how they are staying still despite the world around them changning as they are stood still but the cars and lights behind them are blurry showing how they are moving. Suggesting that the band aren't going to change for anyone and they are strong enough to stay succesful despite the industry changing. Also this is a mid close up of the hroup showing they are trying to create a relationship with the audience so that they can empathise with the group. They also chose to shoot this image at night a time when primarily you would listen to chase and status' music as it is upbeat and dancey which is why this is a relative image as this is the type of genre i have gone for also. So my image could use some of the features found in this photo. The effect of doing this photo at night could lead to the connotation that they shine despite being in darkness and can stand out.

 I chose this image of Pro Green as an inspirtational image because it highlights the importance of camera angles as he is staring directly at the camera he is trying to engage witht the audience to create a relationship with them so they can feel empathy. Also this camra shot shows how the background and location can be significant as he has a blank white background which could suggest he is trying to be fresh and wipe the slate clean. But what it does do is focus all of the attention to him as the black of his shirt stands out from the white. As there is nothingelse to look at the audience would just be concentrating at looking at Pro Green. Also costume is used as he lookjs quite cool and with the slick gelled back combover he is showing his personality. Also his tatoo isn't hidden showing he isn't scared to show off his identity and who he is.

This image of Calvin Harris is significant as it shows the importance of costume when taking a photo. The use of his glasses hide his identity which could lead the reader to thinking there is more to come or that he has something to hide giving off a sense of intrigue. Again in this image he is on a white background so all the attention is focused on Calvin Harris.

I chose these images as these are the type of artists which my magazine will feature and i can draw on these as inspiration from my final product. I can now see what is succesful. These images have shown me that the choice of location can be of importance and how camera angles can show off power. I may consider using a white background if i want my characters to stand out. Or i could make them wear a white top on a dark background or dark night scene. Colour is very important within my genre to generate the vibrancy and bouncey nature it has which appeals to its audience.
