My Artist

The artist group I will be featuring on the cover, contents, and double page spread of my magazine, I have used a co member of my magazine, along with two of my friends. I chose to use these three members as I want to create three individual people within one group all of which have their own personality and fashion sense, in order to convey my overall theme of a cross between music and fashion.
I created my group and called them ‘Candy Rain’ to create a unique and edgy tone to portray their rebellious, quirky style image and aspirational song lyrics in order to appeal and attract my target audience. I wanted to create a magazine with a young girl group like this as of their being a gap in the market for teens which are trying to incorporate both a materialistic and anti authority lifestyle along with a glamorous and wealthy life style demographic.
.
I researched current artist individuals and groups who also have a edgy, rock, effortless look which are also extremely beautiful and glamorous in order to get inspiration for which I want my artist group to symbolise. As of the funky house genre being associated with the clubbing scene as of big record labels such as Headkandi and Ministry of sound I then wanted to create a sexy yet classy, flesh baring clothing, big high heeled shoes, black dresses, and red lipstick, in order to achieve a glamorous and wealthy look. I wanted to take images of fun, young girls , having high confidence by their poses and facial expressions as on the front cover close ups of the girls laughing to symbolise them being happy successful women. I also wanted to portray the artist group as caring, young and friendly by the image of my contents which includes them stroking a dog. On my double page spread the image of my artist are all screaming which shows there fun yet wild side associated with funky house but still convey the fashion element of their red lipstick, dark smokey eyes and glamorous jewellery which portrays my overall concept of both music and fashion.
