Title inspiration:

I used this song title as my magazine title because the lyrics of the song linked to the type of audience I am aiming my magazine at. Marina and the Diamonds is also an artist included in my genre which is indie pop. Also the way she dresses in this video is the look I wanted to achieve in my final magazine, It has a indie, quirky feel to it. This music video is an overall inspiration and gives an idea of what I want my final magazine to look like.

Relevant Fashion Style Associated with Music Genre:

Marina and The Diamonds:
Marinas fashion style is retro, classy and cartoonish. Her unique clothing textures and patterns add a touch of freedom but give a sophisticated look.

Her hair is unusual as she has died it half blonde, blue/blonde adding a sense of wildness to her look.



Lana Del Rey:
Lana's dress style is alike marinas in the sense that it is unique and retro. However, Lana brings more of a smooth, lounge singer feel to her wardrobe. 

Her hair and make up also bring this feel as she has heavily made up lips and glossy curly hair.



Florence and the Machine:
Florence's fashion style is vintage and unique. She wears prints, many blouses and her clothing items are usually bouncy and light. Her vintage look also has a hippie feel with the blouses in colours such as brown and red, this is a smooth relaxing colour scheme.

Her hair and make up is unique as she has red hair and a fringe above her eyebrows, she also wears red lips making them stand out.



FKA Twigs:
FKA's fashion style is unique with modern and old twists. Her clothes usually consist of bold colours, patterns and decoration. Her style also has a sense of freedom.

Her hair is usually in plaited buns and pigtails showing her wacky freedom and thoughts. Her lips are also made up to draw a look of sophistication to her face.



Influences:
People who have been influenced by, are into this music genre, and like the retro look, have similar looks adding their own unique aspects and sophistication to there wardrobes. Their clothes insist of fur, patterns and light items. They also wear made up lips to add definition to their lips.

Examples Of Other Texts:

I like the symmetrical title of V magazine and the fact it is transparent so the image isn't hidden. I might take this as inspiration and create a different look which draws your attention to the person and not drawing it away from the title. Also with these covers its all about the right pose for the right look and the right person, i may also want to use this idea when it comes to making my own magazine.



I like the colour schemes used in BAZAAR's magazine covers  and how they are all different sized images but all achieve a retro look. I may want to use these covers as inspiration using the retro clothing, hair, make up and colours. Also they all use serious, seductive facial expressions, which i might transfer to my own magazine.



I like the repetitive way that most of Interview magazines covers have the titles across the top, also the colours used are very basic but effective making the covers look simple and clean but effective. These covers focus on beauty weather its natural or different. I might take the simplicity and beauty from these covers and use it in my own magazine.



I like the peachy colours used in W magazines covers and there is also an intimate feeling either involving a man and a woman or a woman in revealing clothing. I may want to use the sense of intimacy in my own magazine, with either clothing or facial expression. Heavy lipstick will also give a seductive or important feel to the magazine.



I like the simple use of the title, image and a small other piece of text, this gives the audience few things to look at drawing their attention to the cover and keeping them interested. I might want to use this as inspiration by using an image that stands out and isn't lost behind large amounts of text however, makes them read the title and other simple text. I may also want my magazine to be simple but effective.
