These pictures of the libertines really inspire me. I really like the use of not having colour, as i think it gives off an old, retro look to the picture, which would be great to use on my poster and album cover. I think the setting's in these pictures are very easy to create. Most of them are set on street's which would be easy to use as a setting, because there are endless streets/places to use.
These pictures of the Ramones are also very inspirational to me. I really like how in the 3rd picture i have they have used quite a random setting. In most of their pictures/posters they stand infront of a brick wall, so i think that the messy scene is something different and plays along with their genre of music really well. Another thing i'd like to point out is that most of their pictures are in black and white, i think this also helps to give off a old rocky feel.
I think all these pictures obviously appeal to people who like Indie/rock music. The unique and individual feel to the pictures is what makes them different. I think teenagers who like indie or rock music would really appreciate the difference in these photos. I think what they are wearing, the set and the colours of the photos are what make them iconic and what appeals to the audience. The set especially makes them look of an indie/rock genre, because it's so random and creative. The leather jacket and the jeans that they wear are also what makes them look iconic.
Try to explain who these images would appeal to and what iconography is used to ensure that the correct connotations are given off.
ReplyDeletethe iconography is the leather jackets and jeans (as simple as that). the band also ooze attitude and look like a gang. this is important with these types of group. they aren'y boybands created by a record label but a group of people with shared personal history.
