Brief History: Lead singer Anthony loved music from a very young age and his growing admiration for rock geniuses like Bon Jovi, Queen and the Beatles had encouraged him to write and perform his own music. Once he was given a guitar for his birthday by his dad and as time went his vocal abilities developed, at 15 his close friend, his uncle, died leaving him devastated and trying to drink away the pain but found his way through his music. Whereas Michael was already talented in academic and sports especially football, also held a passion for music at a very young age, and following the terrible loss of his father when he was 14 lead him to build a passion for music and pursue his dream of mastering the guitar.

Samples of clothing you would like them to wear:

   

The samples of clothing I would like them to wear would be black jeans with either a T - Shirt with a big slogan on it like a lyric form their song so we can easily identify them but it will also promote them as the audience are more likely to want to purchase something similar, or shirt rolled up to the elbow with giving them the smart but casual look, but it could also be worn with a waistcoat if they really want to look smart. Another piece of clothing would be a leather jacket as they have become trendy and everyone seems to be wearing them not just people who listen to punk music,  another piece of clothing would be converse as they are very casual, but it also helps the audience to identify the artist as they will automatically think of them if someone said who is that band that wears converse and has a lyric on their T-shirt. Big belt buckles would also be a part of their clothing as many other bands wear them for example Adam Levine from Maroon 5 who tucks in the front of his T - Shirt but leaves the rest out. Wrists bands  sunglasses, a hat and maybe an earring would be used in the clothing for the artist as many bands wear those accessories are usually seen worn by bands so the audience can relate to them better.

Samples of typography you would use for their logo:

The typography I would use would be bold, colourful, sharp and pointy edges, dark outline and symbols instead of actual letters. By using a bold font in my typography this would make it stand out and become more noticeable compared to standard font. Making the font colourful will help the audience take more of an interest in the appearance of the words. Sharp and pointy edges give the typography pop like attitude which will attract teenagers to the artist. A dark outline of the colourful bold letters enhances the individual letters to bring out the individuality of my artist and using symbols in the place of letters will create a fun side to the serious typography

Samples of mise-en-scene you would use in their video:

 

 

 

Having a guitar, microphone, amplifier, drums and stage in the mise-en-scene is a typical layout for music artists, this is then recognised by the audience which will help them to relate this to a pop rock music scene, which will will add a recongnisable attribute to the video, giving this typically old fashion 'rock' sense to it. The idea of using a bedroom and a street in the video will give a 'pop' twist as these are typically seen in most pop music videos it also helps to narrate the lyrics into the video.

Samples of colours you would use in your artist's identity:

The colours I would use in my artist's identity would be black to enhance and define my artists personality. This will outline my artists personality in the 'rock ' side of pop because rock music is associated with  black such as some of the clothes and make-up worn by different artists in this genre. I will use red as a contrast to the black as black and red work well when presented next to each other as the red highlights the black and creates a less dense look. I would use blue, green and purple within my artists look to brighten up the look which will bring out the 'pop' side of the pop rock. 

Samples of imagery which their song evokes in your mind:

The images that the song evokes are one of love, friendship and hope as he is a very good friend to stand by her in her time of need and is willing to let her take out all her emotions on him which also shows love as not all friends would be able to stand by and watch their friend fall, there is also hope as the lyrics say that it will get better she just has to have hope and faith in herself.  However the song also evokes images of heartbreak or the loss of a loved one as it must have been a horrible experience for her to be utterly crushed, which leads to the next image which is time as she will need a lot of time to heal from all the wounds created, another image would be of solidity as they have a strong relationship.
