Biggie Smalls, Genre-Hip Hop – The photo has been edited in
black and white and has a rugged edge to show how old it is
and biggies black outfit connotes evil, danger and shows he
is a bad man gangster. The Blunt he is smoking also depicts
his gangster image as an American drug smoking, gun
wielding gang member.
Whitechapel- Death Metal- The morbid, even
suicidal expressions and Black clothing connote
death, evil and depression. The background is
bleak and depressing with no bright colours
only browns, greys and whites etc. The decaying
wreckage next to them depicts death and
misery. The white sky is dominant yet still dull
and contrasts to the band members.
The raconteurs- Alternative- The smart suits
and expressions show they are serious
about their music. The dull dark colours give
a negative mood but the navy and red from
the two American flags stand out against the
bleak background. The picture has a
symmetrical feel to it and is well organised.

Gary Numan -Genre-Electro pop – black and white is used to give the photo an old and depressing
feel and Gary wears heavy eye make up reflecting his feminine side. He looks serious and concerned
showing he is an emotional man. The white background stands out against the dominant contrast of
Gary’s leather jacket. This shows he is fashionable and black could connote sadness or evil.
The velvet underground- High key lighting is used to give the photo a happy, positive mood. Their
clothing mirrors the era and the bright coloured shirts and flares could represent the hippy era and
psychedelic drugs.The surroundings are natural plants and greenery representing freedom, natural
remedies and the hippy era.It looks like a big garden depicting their wealth. The bright colours could
connote purity or happiness.

The Horrors- Dark Indie- The dark clothing and hair stands out against the white background
connoting depression, emotion, darkness and evil. The bands expressions are saddened showing
they are serious about their dark, emotion filled music . the lead singer ‘faris’ is blowing into his hands
showing that there is a cold atmosphere. This could be linked with the supernatural or depression.
The drummers suit shows they are fashionable and smart and also gives the photo an old feel. The
hairstyles and eye shadow show they are also at touch with their feminine, emotional side which could
appeal to their large target audience of emotional youth s growing up.
Metronomy-Nu Rave- The bright colours represent happiness and could reflect the bands joy of
playing their music. The members almost look robot like which could link up with their electronic
genre. The members of the band themselves are painted different colours showing that they want to
stand out against all the other independent bands. The keyboards are all different colours also maybe
reflecting their different personalities. The main sythesizer controller (oscar) is looking away from his
keyboard cockily to show his immense keyboarding skills. The colours could also connote drugs
which heighten the senses which are linked with this type of electronic music.
