My Artist

Influences;

As I have decided to create an unconventional music video with no performance and the artist to not be shown within the video I have decided to create my artist as mysterious much like pop singer Sia. Sia is not shown in her music videos, all her videos are purely narrative based and not performance based therefore this is why I believe this will work well.

Identity

Existing artist within the indie rock genre;

Costume ideas;

Although my artist will not be seen on camera I have come up with a range of costumes I think my artist would wear, most costume ideas are dark as this is what is stereotypical and conventional within male artists of the indie rock genre.

Examples of my costume ideas within existing artists are shown below;

I would also like my artist to be portrayed with the same types of personality traits and attitudes as the examples below

The 1975

Arctic Monkeys

Twenty One Pilots

Nirvana

La Dispute

Artist name ideas;

• Golden days
• The impossible year
• Lane boy
• Ghost
• The Dispute
• Victorious
• Wonderless
• White Noise

Logo ideas

Below are a range of logos from existing bands;

Due to my music video being unconventional and me hand writing the lyrics and putting them over my shots I have decided to experiment more with my logo ideas and create some hand drawn logos to link with the continuity of my video. I also aim to do this with my didgipak and magazine advert. Below are examples from existing bands who have used a hand drawn style for their logos which have influenced my ideas.

Logo Designs

I created these logo designs by drawing them with a fine liner or felt tip pen and then scanning them in onto photoshop. I then made each one into a transparent background so i could therefore create merchandise designs. I am very happy with the outcome of these.
