Research: Locations

 

 This background uses synergy between the artist costumes, guitar and the text. There are all orange, black and brown. The background is good for the genre because acoustic music reminds you of live lounges of artist singing live acoustic versions of their songs.


This photo was shot during a rock concert. You can tell this because of the type of clothes they are wearing and the typical rock band layout. For example there are two guitars a drum kit plus other members of the band. A rock band image would not be taken in the middle of a field in smart jeans and a shirt. This is how the image sticks to conventions of the genre.


 
The location goes hand in hand with what the article is about. The pull quote say "This is who I am". this suggests that the artist is protesting against discrimination to Transgender and gender specific roles. This could be to do with some discrimination against the particular artist on something like social media. The location gives us the impression that Transgender people are forced to live on the streets as no one will rent accommodation to them or they have been forced out of their family homes.

 The location is set in a winters wonderland. It includes forests with white snow glistening on the ground. There is a lot of synergy used in this DPS such as the pale skin of the artist against the snow covered background, the snowy background and the faded corners of the masthead and the artists clothing colour against the outside scene. This links to the genre as he has written an acoustic song an is sat in the window of his mountain lodge which is where he goes to write his music.



The large picture is based in Tennessee. This is her home state. Due to Tennessee being a southern state, typical stereo types of this are cowboys, westerns and country music. In the top left on the second page there is a picture of Dolly Parton on stage. There are iconic signs between the genre and the picture because a banjo and a tasselled jacket are associated with country music.
