POP MOOD BOARD.

On this mood board that I have created I focused on typical pop artists and groups that have been in the public eye and typically are favourites from people like us!

From my general knowledge and some internet research I had a wide range of pop artists/groups which I could choose from to place on this mood board. As you can see above I have included a mixture of new and relatively old singers to help me get a clearer idea of how pop artists are represented. The artists I have choosen, range from new singers such as Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Beyonce to the oldish singers of the Spice Girls, Britney Spears and Christina Agularia. From gathering these images it was obvious to see that pop artist have maintained ideologies of being glamorous and attractive over the years. However in contrast to this, when researching some of their music, it was noticable how the lyrics tend to change in terms of what they sing about. I have even included a picture all teenage fave of JUSTIN BEIBER!
Common ideologies of pop music lyrics are to do about relationships, love, or family however now present pop singers are writing lyrics to do with sex, alcohol, or money, and they are starting to slip and combine it with other music genres. This can include artists such a Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and even Chris Brown.

When choosing the pictures, I made sure i varied the kind of camera shots in order to give me ideas of what kind of shot would work and look best for my magazine cover. As you can see these range from several mid shots, close ups, long shots and even a high angle shot. Personally I think that either a mid shot or long shot would be appropiate and suitable for my cover.

By looking at the selected pictures I noticed that a majority of them have bright colours which supports the ideology of pop music being, positive, colourful and happy. Also all of the female singers have flesh showing but in an appropiate way, not making themselves look 'slutty' or degrading. The way they are dressed seems to fit well with their style and the kind of music they sing seeing as they are quite bubbly characters and confident about themselves.

Taking these factors into consideration it would be a good idea to incorporate these into my own magazine as it will be more appealing and expected for the readers and knowing that they will be accepted by the majority of the readers.
