In this post I’ll be identifying the similarities that musicians/bands
use in magazines, CD covers and music videos to present themselves; here I’ve
chosen the rock band simple plan. In these images here the left being a
magazine cover and the other being a CD cover, the similarities are pretty
obvious, they wear similar outfits which are usually rather plain or dark and
the odd chequered/striped shirt. They are also using similar poses that are usually noticed
most in rock sceneries, rather a clenched fist or the known rock hand sign
being two fingers at either end of your hand pointing up. The font of the titles
are nearly the same, as they both have the use of making the titles look
scruffy of having the look of someone that’s scribbled over parts of the title.
Now comparing the CD cover and the music video “I’d Do Anything”, again they
all wear similar clothing as they are in the magazine and CD cover, dark or plain,
and as always they use rock hand signs, and when you watch the music video the
crowd are all rather punching the air with a clenched fist or using the rock
hand signal; as well as using similar hand signals they even wear similar
clothing which relates to punk rock fans which the is who the type of rock band
they present themselves to be. As you can see in the corner of the CD cover it
states the word “crazy”, which could infer that the music will make you go “crazy”,
and in the music video it shows a massive group of people trying to get into a
gig, and it shows everyone going crazy in and outside the gig; to get into the
gig people are doing “anything” to get which matches the title of the song, and
infers how people go crazy to listen to the punk rock band Simple Plan.
