An Artist's Image..

Musical Artist's can be represented in all kinds of different texts; through their appearance, album covers, photo shoots, magazines, interviews on TV, music videos. Throughout their career they build up their image to bring more audiences to their music and provides them with a unique style to not just look different from the crowd but to inspire their audiences. Over the years, people are known to associate musical artists' with their genre which has made the industry more cliquey, for example a band such as The Cure with the genre as gothic rock and punk rock, have influenced their audience to approach the gothic style with the dyed black hair, heavy make up and black coloured look. Whereas the majority of female pop artists tend to portray their sex appeal in their media texts such as posters, advertisements, online photos and music videos. -Madonna is an example of this with her stages of wearing very little where the mise en scene plays up a big part within her image.
