Below is my main mood-board. I will use it for inspiration when I am creating my magazine.

Below is my research on the music artist Tyler Joseph, the singer of the musical duo Twenty One Pilots.

 

 

This is an example of my star image.

 

The mood-board and the research into my star image will help me show the conventions of my genre when I need inspiration.  They also give me an idea on the brand I am trying to create and the connotations and the audience expectations that I need to represent the denotations of my genre.

I am happy with my mood-board as it shows the similarity and the differences in the genre I have chosen. The messages and meanings of the songs can be similar but the different bands have very different mise-en scene and brands.

The Star Image research is helpful because it showed me the difference between how artists will present themselves as ordinary or extraordinary and how they want their metanarrative to be shown.  The different ways of how a star is shown is called the paradox of the star.

This will help me create my music magazine to a standard that I will be happy with and that my target market would be interested in buying and reading. Also having a Mood-board will really help me with inspiration when I get stuck in the future.
