Research into similar products

Here, I have completed research into what particular band names I like the style and look of and am interested in doing something similar for my indie pop music magazine. I have selected two band names in which I find quite eye catching and quirky to the typical style of band names and styles that are within the indie-pop genre and so therefore are quite effective. Additionally, the band names are short and snappy which will make it easy for the audience to recognise the name. More so, the use of both band names referring to animals is quite appealing as it indicates the wild and uncontrollable ethos of the bands and therefore indicates the rebellious yet natural style of music associated with both bands, which will attract audiences as they will be interested in the unusual and unconventional styles that both bands are known for. To add to this, the typography of 'Jaws' is written in a neutral and plain typography yet the use of colours and the use of a triangle in place of the 'A' creates a retro and old school feel to the band which will attract audiences due to the unconventional and irregular style which will intrigue audiences. However, the second band's use of typography indicates the edgy bold and alternative ethos that is highly recognisable with 'Arctic monkeys' and is reflected within their music and image. Additionally, the use of colour is effective as having two bold colours contrast with one another could imply how the band Arctic monkeys contrast with the conventional ideas associated with Indie-pop which will attract a wide range of audiences as they will be interested in the unusual style that the arctic monkeys are known for. By doing this research I can look in depth at a range of band names and develop my ideas into what kind of band name I will want to use and how the genre of music the band will be has a large impact on the look and name of the band.
