This repeating pattern is shown throughout the indie fan base and indie artists on MTV and other music channels, this makes it a modern convention of the indie genre and therefore identifiable as ‘indie’. The outfits are also a key for the identification of the genre this is because two of the men sitting at the table are wearing clothing with a repeating pattern on it. ![]() The reason that they do not show themselves on their cover art is because they want to prove a point that they are more about the music than their image and this separates them from other genres of music, making the album cover key for consumers identifying the genre. The artist’s are not shown on the cover showing that the artist’s are indie due to this being a convention of the indie genre. The album cover consists of four men sitting round a table which has horses on whilst on the planet Mars, this quirky situation signifies that the cover is part of something a bit alternative and from that the genre is clearly evident as indie. This would also help me understand the use of semiotics in imagery As it was in the same genre as my chosen track for my own music video I believed it would be very useful to gain a greater understanding of the genres artwork for when I have to create my own. I chose this album cover because it caught my eye as it was packed with semiotics and therefore it would be interpreted differently by different audiences. I have chosen to analyse the album cover ‘Black Holes and Revelations’ by Muse. ![]()
