Research!! - Artists (Basshunter)

Research for a Dance magazine (Artist - Basshunter)

In order to create a celebrity for the dance magazine that i am going to be making i need to research the image of musicians/celebrities who cater to this genre currently therefore, this would give me the foundation in creating my celebrity. The first artist that i have chosen is Basshunter he is Swedish artist who caters to the dance genre. This is a good and interesting image as it follows the abstract theme that is going to be unique selling point as his image is not “conventional” one of the reasons why I chose to cater to the dance genre is because of its uniqueness to other genre’s. Basshunter in this image is in a very particular pose in clothing which portray him as being slightly ‘mischievous’ and as a rebel and then to oppose all this he is holding a rubber ring which is used to save life’s by lifeguards. This image adds a sense of likeliness to his character and adds the fun factor as this picture whilst maintaining his status and popularity as a major artist looks amusing and appealing at the same time. In my opinions it appeals to males using the status and amusement aspects and then appeals to the female part of the audience due to artist being male and dressed smartly which could appeal to the female part of the audience.
