This week, I did my evaluation of my final survey where i found out that my artist/band would be good to be a tan/black male, with some tattoos, looking fairly casual so that the readers can relate to them.
I also looked at an Ed Sheeran music video so I could compare it to the JAY-Z one that I did. I found that in pop artists music videos, they are a lot more gender equal and show them as being more innocent and light. Whereas in hip-hop videos, the males are very dominant and women are viewed as sex objects. They are also often dark coloured to connote masculinity and the artist has a very badboy/gangsta image, that sometimes connotes intimidation. This helped me plan my magazine cover because I am doing a mix of the genres so I now know that it has to be slightly male dominated but not too much, to still fit in with the pop conventions.
I took my pictures for my preliminary task and started to put them into a suitable layout for a college magazine.
