1. Foals
Math Rock, Indie Rock. There is an
informal balance in this image,
however evenly weighted as on one
side there are 3 of the band
members and on the other there is 2
band members with a vintage
looking amp showing cogitations
with the music. Aimed at young
people, you can see this with that
they’re wearing e.g. hoodies and
trainers.
The Stone Roses
Alternative rock, Madchester. This image uses
the rule of thirds, with the primary optical
area it shows that they are in an urban
environment, at a rundown boating place. This
represents the typical teenage life and shows
what kind of audience the stone roses are
targeting. This is supported by the clothes
they are wearing, a big parka oversized tee
shirts overgrown hair very alternative rock.
Having the lead singer in the terminal optical
area makes him stand out showing that he is
the lead singer. Having a sepia colour to the
image show how they are different in the
alternative rock industry.
Justice
French house, electro rock, nu-disco. This image
has an informal imbalance centred in the middle of
the photo one man is larger than the other
however it’s evenly weighted as they are both on
opposite sides of the line of symmetry. The
sunglasses show that they are mysterious and
because they aren’t a main stream band it’s like
they are hiding their identity. The leather jackets
show they are electro rock DJ also the fact that the
image is black and white emphasises the rock they
have in their music.

2. Bob Dylan
Genre: Rock, folk, folk rock, blues, country,
gospel, country rock. This image uses the rule of
thirds well, in the primary optical area you can
see the old building with the scaffolding
representing the urban imagery that the picture
is going for that supports his gospel genre. Then
you can see the speech cards in the centre of
the image with him holding them, showing the
audience his lyrics. The image is in black and
white to show the classic blues in his music. The
clothing he is wearing showing a causal smart
look represents his music as laid back but also
talking about relevant things in life.
Oasis
Genre: Rock, Britpop, alternative rock
This image is equally balanced to show the band has
an equality to them. They are dressed in leather or
denim jackets this represents the rock side of the
band. Having 3 of the band members wearing glasses
would usually represent that they want to remain
anonymous, however because you can see their eyes
threw the sunglasses it shows that they want their
audience to know them, like a lot of main stream
bands.
White lies
Genre: Indie rock, Post-punk revival
This image uses the rule of thirds,
showing in the primary optical area a
band member playing the guitar with all
the rest of the equipment in the
background, then in the terminal optical
area you see the drum set with the
‘white lies’ logo on, advertising the band.
The man in the picture is showing all
black represents the indie rock in the
band this is also shown with the image
being black and white.
