After reading through theories on the 'Star Image', I have begun thinking about how I could apply this theory to my main artist, Rickielee. After continuing with him from my AS media coursework, I decided that if I were to decided upon an iconic 'look' then it would most probably have to be relevant from the artists past career as a solo artist without the band. I thought that to do this, I would look at mainstream artists and their iconic styles and construction, as they are the artists that are the most successful and are most likely to have long term artistic careers.
Something I noticed alot when researching artist construction and artiist imagery is through the use of their hair, for example, 'Florence Welch' from 'Florence & the Machine' with her firey red locks and 'Jessie J' with her edgy black bob. This is a feature of artist imagery that I think would work extremely well with Rickie and his -could be iconic- quiffed up hair.
In order to do this, I believe that I should make his hair a feature of the Digipack artwork somehow, this is something that I need to look further into and how to market it to the right audience.
