Textual analysis of a chosen stars image





Jeffrey Scott Buckley


I have chosen Jeffrey Scott Buckley. The reason i have chosen him because the genre of his music is what my artist is doing and his is one of his inspiration for Folk music.
Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997), raised as Scotty Moorhead, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He was the son of Tim Buckley, also a musician. After a decade as guitarist-for-hire in Los Angeles, Buckley gained popularity in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan's East Village, such as Sin-é, gradually focusing more on his own material. After rebuffing much interest from record labels and his father's manager Herb Cohen, he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and recorded what would be his only studio album, Grace.



Website

As we look at the website it uses a simple black and grey background to create a cool style as simillar to what their star persona has create to audience, by using photoshop to edit a brigth colour in 2NE1 picture to empathise each of their personality and create a future style to their fans. The design for a popular girl group website is really simple, very basic not really attrative for audience, link is include in the top bar e.g. about 2NE1, froum, News etc, which let their fans to learn or know more about the group. The style of this website create a diary feeling to me, as showing more different side of the artist then their music, it does not include music track in the website, which most of the artist would do to promot their music.



CD Cover


The design cover for the CD it uses a materlic silver , embred letter showing 2NE1, no images of the artist. But is create one of their genres which is Electrpop, Hip-Hop, K-Pop etc style. Their star persona is matching with their CD and website which create a futurism, electric mood to their mainstream audience.

Music Video

This Music video is one of their latest song. the custom is used to relate to their star person as beeing a fashionable Hip-Hop, R&B artist. From the use of custom would helo them to create more fans becasue of what their wearing is fashionable which is what most of the target group want's. In the Music Video it have different typs of element to empathise their images. the storyline help to plot their style, to repersent them as bad girls. From the lyris it empathise there genre of being R&B.

Vivid colour, props and make-up is use to identified each members. The beginning of the music they always start with their slogan Together 2NE1 with indevate, empathise them and the name of the group to make audience to remember them.
