Music iconography



Looking at how these media used iconogaphy, i discovered that most of these UK Hip Hop artists tend to use a lot of futuristic/graffiti fonts in there designs whilst centering the colours around purple and sort of typical neon like colours. This is shown by artists like Tinchy Stryder and Tinie Tempah as they tend to use those sort of neon colours. I believe this is done to provide the feeling that they are actually for rave/dance genres as their style of music does cross in to the genre of dance. Therefore, there are iconographical links between genres through colour.

I found these specific colours and fonts very interesting for my artist as they each provide there own feel to it and all could be used whilst providing a totally different effect. Such as pink could be used for him as it is mostly associated with pop and would go well if we were marketing it at girls because of well known stereotypes.
