Mood board

This is my mood board that i have designed to target my type of audience, the genre of the mood board is indie hence the pictures of the kooks and the Arctic monkeys. I think this targets my audience well as I have used pictures of artists such as the kooks which is my sort of genre, and seeing as the pictures are mostly stereotypical of roughed up artists smoking it shows how they are very independent and rebellious.

First off this website is focusing on the genres of heavy metal and rap because the younger generation of today can relate to this type of music, also adults don't appreciate this type of genre therefore this is challenging the dominant ideology. The questions that the researchers are most interested in are for example 'why does this type of genre inspire you so much?'
