A Star Image is the idea which is created surrounding a star. This is incredibly important to consider when designing a magazine, as the construction of the overall image of the star can hugely effect what audience are reached, and if they are reached effectively.

I have created a presentation which studies in detail the meta-narrative of one of my favourite Indie artists, Tessa Violet. My analysis covers her usage of social media, PR appearances, her music and lyrics, one of her music videos, her appearance on the cover of Narrow magazine, as well as other aspects of how her brand is composed.

Star Image – Tessa Violet

When I’d completed this, I moved on to create a slideshow about how I’m going to construct my star, using my knowledge gained through my research and my knowledge of the genre as whole.

Designing My Star Image

I will build my overall star image with these features in mind, so that I am able to convey the Indie genre to my audience in a way which is decodable.
