In order to create and design a successful and realistic social media page for my studies I needed to do some research on an artist similar to my artists. Firstly I went through a list of artists that share the same genre of music as my band. I chose Conan Gray, a Canadian indie pop artist with a following of 6.9 million. I chose this artist as his social media page is similar to how I want my social media page to look aesthetically. I also chose instagram as my form of social media as it is what my chosen band posts on the most therefore is the most appropriate.
From doing this task I discovered that some connotations of this social media page include:
- Name of artist
- Posts with captions
- Promoting themselves
- Links to more information
- Tour posters
- Merchandise advertisement
I will now be sure to include these key conventions in my social media page. This task was helpful and vital in order for me to create a conventional social media page.
