Research: Featured Artist Inspiration

Music Magazine Featured Artist Inspiration
 
When Miley Cyrus was first introduced into the music industry her image was quite different than it is today -

 
Below, on the cover of 'Teen Vogue' magazine, Miley is being represented as a young, innocent pop artist, as she has a light, smiley expression. Her direct mode of address attracts readers as they may feel more involved. Miley is wearing white which connotes purity, adding to her innocent representation. She also has flowers in her hair connoting a child-like  feature. She is shown with a white horse, reinforcing a sense of purity and innocence, but also shows her love for animals, which gives a positive representation of her to her young fans.
 



Miley's image began to change as she is represented on the 'Billboard' front cover as a more edgy, rock icon, wearing all black leather. Her dark eye make-up also adds to this image. 

My featured artist will be represented similar to how Miley Cyrus is below.



 
 At present, Miley Cyrus's image is completely different. She is represented as a more sexualised female artist, showing more flesh, with a provocative expression on her face (which is ironic since she is wearing all white). This 'Cosmopolitan' cover is much more feminine with a girly, pink colour scheme. 



Miley Cyrus is a good example of how young artists can be provoked and pressured to change by the music industry and media. These three different representations of the young singer show her transition over time, you almost wouldn't believe the young actress who played Hannah Montana is the same crazy singer who shocked millions with her performance at the VMA's in 2013. Both examples can be shown below.
