Learning photoshop

In today's lesson we learnt how to use photoshop. This was very helpful as it portrays the star's image and allows you to see how stars want their image to come across.

It also shows whether an artist is organic or synthetic by the way they present themselves on their cover. By having a raunchy/aesthetically pleasing photo of the artist/band it is more likely to be portraying a synthetic artist. This contrasts with an organic artist which will typically portray the artist with their musical instruments and usually represent the passion that is in the song.

The band's target audience is predominately male, due to the dark colours and retro picture of the woman on the front. You will notice that the band do not feature on the front cover on their album, unlike a group like One Direction. This is because they are selling their music, not their looks or their image. This means 'Vulture Street' are an organic band, as their main focus is their music and not their image. The font on the front cover is very qwerky and electric, portraying the band's image as a rock band. The dark colours portray that their sound isn't happy and all smiles, but rather about more intricate matters. This tells us that their target audience would be predominately men in their 20s and 30s, which highlights their lack of interest in a star image. The bands star image is very low key, and probably don't feature very much in their own music videos, linking back to the fact they are a organic artist. Additionally, the woman in the picture is almost in the shadow and you cannot really see her clearly. This could link to the band wanted to leave their looks and personality to peoples imagination, and not flaunt it to sell records.
