Marketing of Music Videos: Lady Gaga vs. Adele / Artists' Change in Musical Direction

Lady Gaga brands herself as an edgier artist through her usage of makeup. In the given photo, her face is pale and her eyes are accentuated by heavy eyeliner. Acting as a complete contrast, Adele puts herself forward with a slightly more raw look. Her makeup is never heavy and her hair, in the given image, falls in healthy curls. This mirrors her music, which always feels very honest and real.


Artists and their change in musical direction:

Taylor Swift - country to pop
Katy Perry - christian to pop
Snoop Dogg - rap to reggae, then back to rap
Tinashe - pop to RnB
Nelly Furtado - pop to hip-hop
Lil Wayne - rap, to rock, then back to rap

I have attempted to write several novels, though I have never managed to make it to the end of them as I tend to find myself either losing confidence in the plot or becoming distracted by other projects. I do, however, write poetry and self-publish them of the story-sharing plat...

Sample Article - The Hunger Games Franchise

This is a sample article to demonstrate the type of content that will appear in my action film magazine titled 'Spotlight'. - The Hunger Games film franchise broke box office records and made large amounts of money across the globe. Three years later, it is still one of the most popular franchises in the world. The four-film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' trilogy has made just under three billion dollars in total, with the highest ranking instalment being Catching Fire. Released in late 2013, the film follows Katniss Everdeen - portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence - as she embarks on a tour of the districts of Panem succeeding her victory in the 74th Hunger Games with her district partner, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). It is during this tour that we discover the extent of Katniss' effect on the rest of the country, and she starts to work out the fact that an uprising is brewing. Shortly after the conclusion of her expedition, the series' famous protagonist discov...

The Appeal of Film Magazine Covers

The cover of film magazines tend to be a little busier than those of magazines from any other genre. Perhaps this is because they aim to highlight the explosive nature of hit new action films or due to the excitement of a cinematic masterpiece. They usually feature a leading character from the newest releases in front of an interesting background - often some sort of explosion. By featuring a celebrity in character on the cover page, fans are more likely to purchase the product, thus making it more successful. The name of magazines usually falls behind the head of whoever is on the cover as it is often the celebrity, not the actual magazine itself, that sells the product. Text on the cover must stand out so as to allow readers to know what content can be found inside, but shouldn't take away from the cover image. Colour schemes play a key part in this as they ensure that the magazine has a polished and professional finish. Cover pages also tend to use lots of positive adjectives an...
