Lorde is a very successful singer- songwriter that produces music that consist of electro, pop and rock. Lorde's style Is very consistent as she has this cool/simplistic/edgy ethos to her and this is reflected in her music, image and style. In the billboard magazine that features her it is has
simplistic colour scheme, which is different shades of grey, white and hints of black to help give off a cool vibe. Also the magazine does not feature many things on it which helps to focus on her and her facial expression, which is quite neutral showing that she doesn't need gimmicks to sell her self. Her album cover reflects the kind of artist she is as it is very minimalist due to only having two contrasting colours, however using the word 'heroine' makes and impact as it has shock value and it also refers to how she has made a massive impact on todays music industry. Further more Lorde's style is very distinctive as she has quite wild her and in all her photos she has a bland expression that intrigues the audience as she does not give much away about herself. By doing this research I know now that to create a successful music magazine my cover star will need to look the part and have a running theme which can be used in the magazine.
