Front Cover Linked to Research

I took inspiration from numerous magazines that either featured an indie or indie rock artist and evaluated and analysed the layout, features and model pose within the magazine.

Furthermore, and there was a particular artist who inspired the face paint especially for my artist look. This artist is called Gotye who is classified within the Indie Rock genre, his music video “Somebody That I Used to Know” in which the setting and the individuals were exactly identical to the setting of the video.


Immediately when people saw the face design on my model they linked it back to the music video, and many said that they liked the way that there was a distinctive link between the name of the band and the face design.
This is the music video, of the artist Gotye that I was inspired by for the look of my model.The look seemed to have a better outcome than i had thought it would.

Another inspiration was the magazine called NME, which has a various artists of the indie genre.The layout and design is also unique, which I took influence from.
This magazine cover by NME, did have a particular influence as I liked the simplicity of the pose and the angle of gaze was effective.I wanted my magazine cover to have the same effect of this magazine cover in particular.
