costuming and props that will inspire my magazine

The artist in this image is called Jake Bugg, he is a solo artist in the indie-rock genre. He dresses quite stereotypically to the way that one may think someone in this genre dresses. He is dressed all in dark colours which is thought common for someone in this genre. As it will be evident in the other images I will post artists of this genre are very rarely seen wearing bright colours and usually wear colours such as blacks, browns and navy blue. Artists of this genre often appear to show quite a small amount of consideration for the way that they dress and style themselves. His clothes are quite basic and simple and are not of expensive designer brands. As for the hair of these such artists it usually looks as though the style is simple and has not taken much time or preparation to create. The clothes appear possibly quite vintage and retro are often styles that have been around before and are now becoming common once again.

Artists of this genre are usually pictured with a guitar as most of the artists in this genre play their own music. The use of the guitar as a prop, particularly an acoustic guitar as this one is, demonstrates slightly the type of music they play within this genre. In the case of this artist who is a member of this genre, the feature of the guitar demonstrates that he plays acoustic music. I know that this is true seeing as I have listened to his music, however even if I had not it would still be quite apparent.




This image is slightly different as it is of a group of artists, a band called Arctic Monkeys. As I have mentioned in my previous paragraph, the colours of clothes that they are wearing are quite dark and quite dull. Once again it doesn't look as though they have put a lot of time and effort into what they are wearing, and the colours are not attention seeking. They are not clothes that would make them stand out and as members of this music genre that is not usually something that they aim to do. Once again their hairstyles do not look as though they have taken much time and are not the type of artists to ever consider being airbrushed as is now common for people on magazine covers.

Unlike the other image there are no props in this image. Although there is no guitar featured in the image it is still widely known that they are a band of the indie-rock music genre.
