Representation of the Artist

This image is a visual representation of the way I would like the band to be marketed and shown in the music video.
Starting at the top left of the image is a music stave that twists and represents the path the band must take to achieve success in a profession they feel strongly about. On the stave is a selection of notes which someone could denote as all the problems they will have to face in their career.

Bellow the music stave is an image of the band called the "Arctic Monkeys"  we have modelled the apparel of our band off of them, which means our band would look similar to a 60's mod gang, however we may have to subvert something in their appearance as we don't want the band to seem like they share the same beliefs as the "Mods." The image also connotes that the band work as a unit and this is another way we want the band marketed.

Underneath the image of the "Arctic Monkeys" there is an image of  one of "Lady GaGa's" album covers with a saying on it called "The Fame Monster." This implies that many Pop musicians are in the business just for the fame. However her album cover is crossed out and which implies that the image is saying the opposite and that our band are there because its a profession they feel strongly about and they're willing to excel the honest way, through hard work.

To the right of the "Lady GaGa" image is a picture of a young child with the word "innocence" written on his arm, which connotes youthful innocence. This is another ideal that we want our band marketed as because they are young and we want them to appear naive about the music business, this naivety will make the band appear more friendly and as a result more likeable. 

Finally above that image is a picture that recreates the Greek myth of the king Sisyphus trying to push a rock up a hill. Whilst the story behind the image doesn't really convey the correct message about the band, the image does. It shows determination to succeed no matter how hard the task is to succeed at.
