Band Similar to ours: Kings Of Leon



Kings Of Leon are an American rock band who portray an organic image. We can see this as in the picture, two of the band members are not facing the camera which showcases their countertype to traditional synthetic rock bands. Three of the four band members are wearing dark clothing which signifies how they are less interested about their image such as pleasing teenage girls, which seems to be the focus from synthetic rock band's record companies. The fourth member of the band at the band is not wearing a top which clearly shows how he takes an organic approach by the way he is shown. In our band we will have similarities with Kings Of Leon as the lead singer is going to be topless, with the rest of the band wearing organic and dark clothing in order to showcase a persona of traditional heavy rock.



The image above is in grey-scale which demonstrates how the band are organic and do not appeal to a female audience, as their image is very masculine. We can see that some band members have their hands in their pockets which showcases how the band are very organic by the way they stand up. Their clothes also look different and the band members maintain a serious face towards the camera to portray their originality and how they conform to stereotypical rock bands who look very scary, dark and sinister. Our band will be similar to this since we will be dressed differently and will have organic faces towards the camera in order to convey the rock image of our band.





















The band's CD covers tend to be plain black with an image in the middle, which does not refer to the band or its members. The band's name is at the top in small text which conveys how the band aren't selling themselves by their name and are organic in the choice of image that they choose to be in the middle. Our CD cover will definitely feature some aspects of graphically designed images such as the ones that Kings of Leon have in their CD covers.
















The band's website is vibrant and interactive, with animation being used in the main body of the website. The band have used a unique and organic look that is portrayed in their website since it differs from many other band's websites, including The 1975. Our website will most likely not feature use of animation, however the design can definitely give us ideas as to how we layout our website.
