MERCHANDISE RESEARCH

Chosen image

This image will be the main picture on our website homepage. Reasons:

• Intertextualises 'Joker'
• Intertextualises Alice Cooper
• Fits with her red theme
• Carries hell connotations
• Billie Eilish is centred in the image, which shows she is the focus of the site
• Direct gaze, this is immediately engaging and attracts her primary and secondary audience.

LOGO PLANNING

On the left, is Billie Eilish's logo. It is very simplistic, and has little relation to her brand, however due to her extreme success, it is widely known to be associated with her. It is a stick man, slightly slanted. This can be interpreted as Billie Eilish suggesting it is okay to be 'quirky' and 'unusual' (similar to a dutch angle). We will likely create a design with her initials, while still following her colour scheme. Possible incorporating another image related item. Ideas include:

- Her green hair
- Fire
- A snake

Here are some ideas that we will look at for inspiration

 

 After struggling for inspiration when creating the       logo for our brand, I tried a few versions by hand,   as I had ideas, just not the ability to execute them on photoshop. This is the first draft, and the hope is   to upload it to photoshop and adjust the colours.   This   works as a logo for Billie Eilish because:

 - Has her initials in bold, serif/sans-serif font
 simplistic
 - Has a snake covering the letters 

- This animal links to her brand image

Prior to arriving at this draft, I came up with one other idea, which was slightly more simplistic. It is also an option, because of how simplistic is it. With the other image having a snake on it, it could mean that when the image is small, the drawing might get confusing, and could be interpreted as a letter. Another option is to have different versions of the same logo, for example, the simplistic logo could go on our digital and website, whereas the other logo could be a social media profile picture.

GENRE VIDEO AND PPT MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS

In my post on genre and the chosen artist, I discuss how Billie Eilish doesn't have a specific genre she falls into, however I will be using the genres dark-pop and electropop to look at the specific conventions. 

In the following PowerPoints and vodcasts, I explore the conventions in the dark-pop/electropop genre. This includes work from Melanie Martinez
