1. Star Image
(Livvy)

2. What makes a star?
What image are institutions trying
to portray to their audiences about
a certain star. Stars from different
genre backgrounds will want to
have different images. Pop – bright
and colourful. Rock – Darker
colours and more muted.

3. Examples -
While releasing her first album Taylor Swift was
made to be a ‘country star’ and this is shown in this
album cover by having her in a rural
background, her hair natural and her make up
minimal. This is to represent her as a simplistic girl
who doesn’t rely on anything other than her guitar.
I don’t know what album release this is (as I’m not
really a Marilyn fan. TAINTED LOVE ANYONE?)
this is a perfect example of a star image created to
scare. This album cover shows him covered in dark
make up, leaning forward with a sinister look on his
face and tinted green (this could be related to
witches and witchcraft).

4. The purpose of the star image
To appeal to a certain audience. As
mentioned in the first slide most
genres want a specific image.
Rock/Indie would want a more
rebellious image than that of Pop and
R ‘n’ B as their audience would be
predominantly made up of rebellious
teenagers.
